AS4004T: 2x10TB Raid 1 (EXT4) to 3x14TB Raid 5 (Btrfs)?

Post by huste511 »

Hi!

What is the best way to transfer a volume Raid 1 array to a new volume with larger hard drives in Raid 5 on the AS4004T with 4 bays?

In addition, there should be a change from EXT4 to Btrfs.

Simply pull out one of the hard disks and set up the desired volume for the three new hard disks?

Copy the data via the internal file explorer? Later change the shared folder accordingly to the new drive?

With this procedure, however, the folder date of the last change is changed.

I don't want that. Is there a better way?

The correct way is: https://www.asustor.com/en-gb/online/Co ... ?topic=352. However your NAS model is not hot-swappable. You'll need to open enclosure to simulate hot-swapping way...

Sorry, I don't see where my question EXT4 -> Btrfs is addressed there.

The information regarding hot swap is also wrong.
The AS4004T can do this.
