The fun begins!


Code:
Every 30.0s: cat /proc/mdstat                                        Wed Apr 26 23:26:19 2023

unused devices: <none>


Once that rebuilds I'll copy the data from md1 over to it and retire md1. Next step is going to be to upgrade md0 to use 10TB drives instead of the current 3TB ones.

And lastly I'll grow md2 by one more drive to use the last remaining 10TB drive.

Will be good for a while after this! I may upgrade the drives in md3 though but think for now I will just move data off it to one of the other arrays.

Looks like my OS has a 16TB limit on volumes. Crap. I'm not in a position to upgrade the OS, I don't have another chassis so I can do a more graceful upgrade.

Going to have to figure something out. Worse case scenario I might have to partition out in 16TB chunks but don't really like that idea, it's kind of dirty.

I was actually able to install latest e2fsprogs from a tar.gz file off the kernel.org site. I can't believe that actually worked lol. I was expecting dependency hell.

New volume created. I probably should wait until it's done rebuilding before I copy data to it though.

Code:
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md0              5.4T  4.8T  328G  94% /volumes/raid1
/dev/md1              7.2T  6.5T  329G  96% /volumes/raid2
/dev/md3              7.2T  6.7T  202G  98% /volumes/raid3
/dev/md2               18T   24K   17T   1% /volumes/raid2temp

Decided to start copying data over even though the array is not actually built yet. A bit risky. I also skipped doing a long smart test, perhaps I should have done that. I can still do that once all of this is done though.

Meh. Head and chest cold still here. Went to urgent care and I've picked up a sinus infection as well. Lots of viruses going around this year.
On an antibiotic now, and eye drops because my eyes and lids are flaming red (oh, and mucus from my sinuses is coming out of the corners of my eyes - eewww).
