change a disc with less capacity

Post by Brutaldeath »

Hello,
I have a F4-423 with 1x Seagate Archive 8To and 3x Seagate Barracuda 2To on TRAID
I have a lot of error on this Seageate 8To disc and I need to change it AND I have only 6To of storage for 14To of disque space...

My probleme is:
I have 4x WD Gold Datacenter 6To disc to spare.

I was thinking of changing the 2TB for the 6TB first, to have a more consistent storage pool and avoid losses due to the reduction in disk capacity from 8TB to 6TB.

It's is possible ?
I change all of 2To disc for 6To and after, i change 8To disc for 6To disc ?

Thanks

This is OK, if the data is not much, it is recommended to directly rebuild after backing up the data, so that the synchronization time is less.

I reply at myself :D

If you're wondering, change 2To disc by 6To disc taking 3h30 approximately.
You need to reboot your NAS after repair RAID and extend volume manually
