Expand RN104 from 4 1TB Drives
Hello,
I have an RN104 (6.2.2) with 4x1TB WD Green Devices with 512Byte/sector.
When I now exchange 2 HDDs with 2TB Drives that have 4K Sectors I need to reset the NAS for Performance?
Are the other two 1TB Drives getting also partitioned for 4K then?
Actually they all start at sector 1.

OS6 has always had 4k sector partition alignment.
Anyway we are using GPT so you would use GPT tools such as sgdisk not MBR ones such as sfdisk.

# sgdisk -p /dev/sda
