[Help] How to replace discs to larger?

Post by AzzGuard »

Hello.
I have F8 SSD Plus, in 1 and 2 slots installed two Samsung 980 Pro 2 Tb as TRAID.
I'm planning to replace both disks by two another with higher capacity.
How I can do it correctly without data loss and reinstalling system?

PS: All other slots busy by data volumes.

It doesn’t matter that both disks are marked as system disks. You can still perform the online expansion by following the method above. When replacing, ensure that at least one hard drive is used as the system disk first. After replacement, you can migrate the system to the new hard drive and then replace the second hard drive.
