wesman Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I've had an old NUC sitting around with a 1TB NVMe as a test Unraid for a while as the only Data Drive - No Parity. I decided to add a 1TB SSD 2.5FF into the NUC as a Parity, but apparently, the new drive is apparently bigger. Is a Parity Swap the right procedure for this? Or do I assign the new drive as an "Unassigned Device" copy the content of the Data Drive to it with a simple "cp /*" Then do a new config? Quote Link to comment

No, since there's no valid parity. 5 minutes ago, wesman said: Or do I assign the new drive as an "Unassigned Device" copy the content of the Data Drive to it with a simple "cp /*" Then do a new config?

I don't have any actual data on the drive, just, dockers and the Flash configuration, but i do need to keep the docker, like the self hosted BitWarden, etc. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 What will you backup to? Quote Link to comment

I was thinking. 1.) Keep the config as it is, using CA, to backup the flash and appdata (to the vmne - Data Drive) 2.) Do - New Config, Keep nothing 3.) Start the new Config with Just the New 1TB Drive, and add the NVMe as "Unassigned" 4.) Copy the backups, restore backups. Confirm its working properly 5.) Then add the NVMe as the parity and let it clear it out. Quote Link to comment
wesman Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 Or, is it simplier to just do my orginal though? Or do I assign the new drive as an "Unassigned Device" copy the content of the Data Drive to it with a simple "cp /*" I just don't want to mess up a Bitwarden, and a couple other dockers Quote Link to comment

Do you mean backing up to the same device that already has appdata on it? I guess it would be useful to backup Flash, but you can download a flash backup by going to Main - Boot Device - Flash and clicking on Flash Backup Quote Link to comment
