Hello All,
I currently have a 2TB RAID 1 array on a HP Microserver but one of the drives is generating messages like:
ZitatAlles anzeigenThe following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon:
Device: /dev/disk/by-id/wwn-0x50024e9205c02036 [SAT], 7 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors
The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon:
Device: /dev/disk/by-id/wwn-0x50024e9205c02036 [SAT], 1 Offline uncorrectable sectors
which it seems, after research, is a "bad thing"
So I have ordered 2 3TB WD Red drives but I need advice on how to migrate to a larger RAID 1 array or should I consider another arrangement involving the two drives? I have backups to external USB and the data on the drives is not changing often, just new files being added. The other 2 bays are in use with 2 non-RAID 1TB drives but I could remove these temporarily to create the new array, is this the best way?
or can I combine the surviving 2TB drive with the 2 new 3TB ones to create a larger array and remove one of the 1TB drives? It is all too confusing, so many options!
Advice much appreciated ..
