Adding a 4th 10TB drive to a XRAID array on Pro6 6.9.3 (please reassure me)

Hi

 

I have a Pro6 on 6.9.3 that had 6x6TB in XRAID2 (single redundancy). I've sequentially added 3x10TB and today added the 4th. It appears the disk was used before (something i'll take up with Amazon) so I destroyed the partition and then restarted.

 

This time on the volume screen lists 3 different RAID groups (never has done before) and the XRAID on the right is grey not green. I have not consciously chosen to remove XRAID as I want, in the future, to swap out the remaining 2 drives.

 

Can someone tell me what's going on!

 

Thanks Andy

  • Hi

    So it hasn't worked - finished resyncing - the volume size hasn't grown and it still shows the RAID groups with XRAID greyed out. What can I do from here??

    Tx

      You have a triple layer data volume with md125, md126 and md127 as the three layers.

       

      That means you've vertically expanded your data volume a couple of times.

       

      From the looks of things you may have started out with 4TB disks, then moved to 6TB disks and now onto 10TB disks?

       

      There are only 3 disks showing in md127, sda, sdb and sdc.

       

      If you look at disk_info.log which disk is the 10TB disk you just added. Is it one of those three disks or a different disk? If so, which disk?

       

      What does your partitions.log look like? Do you see the same partitions for the other 10TB disk as for the 3 disks mentioned above?

        Hi

         

        Thanks. sdd is the one that is just added (disk_info.log below).

        Forgive me - I don't know how to interpret partitions.log:
