Recommended Approach for upgrading drive
I have to replace a drive with some early smartctl errors, looking for advice on how to best proceed. I am going to be upgrading the size and also moving volumes round between a couple of drives tha...
So I guess any suggestions anyone has for how I can shuffle these volumes to the new larger devices and pull out the smallest one with the errors
An offline approach would be to
- power down the NAS and remove the drive(s)
- clone the existing drive to the larger one
- expand the third partition to use all the space on the larger drive
- resize the file system.
- insert the larger drives, and power up the NAS.
