Replace Parity Drive with larger w/o rebuild


Recommended Posts

This has probably been asked before...

 

Is it possible to replace the parity disk with a new larger drive WITHOUT doing a data-rebuild?

So it would copy from the old parity disk to the new disk and zero-out the rest without needing to spin-up the other disks.

If possible, how? If not, shouldn't it be a requested feature?

 

Forgive me for asking a basic question. I'm a newbie.

But I did read https://wiki.unraid.net/The_parity_swap_procedure, which sort of shuffles the contents of 3 drives around.

That is not quite what I want.
