Replacing bad HD

Recommended Posts

I have three 2tb data drives(sdg, sdh, sdi), one 3tb parity drive (sdf), and one 250gb cache drive (sdj).  My main data drive (sdg) went bad (it contains most if not all of my data files).  My parity is still good, however, in replacing the bad 2tb data drive, I purchased a 4tb hd, forgetting about the size difference with the parity.  What's my best course of action?  Would it be best to replace the bad 2tb (sdg) with one of the other (sdi), letting the parity rebuild the drive then replace the 3tb parity (sdf) with the news 4tb?

 

any suggestions is greatly appreciated

Well that sucks. All these release candidates and scenarios like this does not work.

 

 

 

Yeah, I agree, especially with v6.4, there's been a lot of changes that broke some basic things, but it's still a pre-release and users should use it accordingly, I only use it on one of my servers (which acts as a backup server), all others are still on v6.3.5.
