Keksgesicht Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Hey, I have a btrfs raid1 pool with 3 disks. root@tower:~$ btrfs fi show /mnt/cache/ Label: none uuid: a4b126da-bb61-bbb4-471d-034266f28ea1 Total devices 3 FS bytes used 783.17GiB devid 1 size 931.51GiB used 511.03GiB path /dev/sdc1 devid 2 size 931.51GiB used 510.00GiB path /dev/sdb1 devid 3 size 1.82TiB used 1021.03GiB path /dev/nvme0n1p1 Is it possible to replace the 2 1TB with a new 2TB? I tried to read https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Using_Btrfs_with_Multiple_Devices#Using_btrfs_replace, but I am not sure if it is possible to replace two disks with only one in a single operation. Also does it confuse the UnRaid GUI or does the WebGUI also support such operations? Quote Link to comment

It's not. 9 hours ago, Keksgesicht said: Also does it confuse the UnRaid GUI or does the WebGUI also support such operations? You should do it using the GUI, first replace one of the devices with the new one, then remove the other device. Quote Link to comment

Usually yes, but always good to have backups in case something goes wrong. 3 minutes ago, Keksgesicht said: Should I move cache3 in the GUI to cache2 or is it not important. As you wish, it doesn't make any difference. Quote Link to comment
