Expand RN104 from 4 1TB Drives

[maik005]

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.

Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes
256 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121126 cylinders, total 1953525168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1               1  1953525167   976762583+  ee  GPT

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
