I’m wondering if there’s been any way to expand the capacity of the drives we have in a RAID 1 array if I want to change them (for example, if I have 2TB HDDs and I add 4TB ones to make the RAID larger). That’s why I think SnapRAID would be better.
I believe RAID-1 disk replacement works, but ZimaOS cannot grow the array size through the UI.
If you replace 2TB drives with 4TB, the RAID will stay at 2TB until manually expanded by command line. I think advanced users could do this, but it isn’t supported in the interface.
SnapRAID is more flexible for mixed-size disks, but it isn’t real-time protection.
I suggest treating RAID-1 in ZimaOS as same-size replacement only until grow support arrives.
Yes, I know, that’s why I started this thread so you can see a problem that’s sure to happen, and that’s why I’m saying that Snapraid (another thread) would be great and if they could provide a solution.
