@Hooverdan Re:
Super, we can continue this one in the PM once started. Thanks.
But Rockstor defaults to turning them on (btrfs quotas that is) so if they show as on in the Web-UI just turn them off their: Pool page.
I think adding a new drive first ensures you will have plenty of room. Running out during a balance is something you don’t want to happen, especially with the parity raids levels of 5 & 6 as you are then into repair territory and that is weaker in the parity raid levels.
I would recommend against the replace as I believe it’s younger code. Supposed to be quicker but given it’s younger and less well tested (I think) then I would go for disk add. Let everything settle, disk remove, let everything settle. And the settle in this case could be a very long time. Also not sure if the balance formatting is going to mess things up here. But pretty sure, if using 3.9.2-50, that the pool percent usage per drive memeber should help you see when it’s done. That and drive activity. When adding / removing drives their is what I’ve referred to in Rockstor code as an ‘internal’ balance. And they don’t show up like normal balances anyway. The Web-UI should account for this however and indicate it’s suspicion of these balances being ‘internal’ I’m hoping this caveat is done away with in time upstream. But when last I check it was still invisible but very much active !
But lets get your updated to 3.9.2-50 sorted first.
Hope that helps.
