My setup is an OS drive (Fedoa 14) and two 1TB RAID 1 drives mounted at /var/hda/files. It is a software RAID I set up when I installed Fedora/Amahi. I have two 2TB drives that I would like to use to upgrade the storage space. What is the best way to do this?
Options I could think of are:
Option A
- * Backup data
* Shut down server
* Unplug one 1TB drive
* Plug in one 2TB drive and let the RAID software build the RAID on it
* Once successful, shut down server
* Unplug the second 1TB drive and plug in the second 2TB drive
* Allow RAID software to build the RAID on the second 2TB drive
* Learn how to resize the partition (Could gparted do this?)
- * Backup data
* Return /var/hda/files to the OS drive
* Shut down server
* Remove RAID drives
* Install new drives
* Create new RAID 1 of drives (Need a step-by-step on this one)
* Mount new RAID at /var/hda/files
* Copy data back in place
