Line 15: − − ====Replacing and Upgrading Hard Drive after HD fail==== − Note: See [[Bugzilla 6632]] these instructions are applicable if you have a faulty HD on a RAID system with more than one drive and intend to upgrade the sizes as well as replacing the failed HD. They are not applicable to a single-drive RAID 1 system, and increasing the useable space on such a system by cloning the existing single drive to a larger drive is not supported. See http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5311 − − * CAUTION MAKE A FULL BACKUP! − * Ensure you have e-smith-base-4.16.0-33 or newer installed. [or Update to at least 7.1.3] − − HD Scenario - Current 250gb drives, new larger 500gb drives − − # Remove failed HDD from system, ensure remaining drive is on sda on its own and boot up. − # Shutdown, connect one new 500gb drive as sdb and boot up − # Login to the admin panel and manage raid to add new (larger) drive to system. − # Wait for raid to fully sync − # Do full reboot with those 2 drives in place (1 original, 1 new) − #Shutdown again, disconnect the original drive, and connect the new drive just sync'd as sda (in place of original) − # Boot up again with just the one new drive in place, and confirm it boots OK. − # Shutdown, and connected the other 500gb drive as sdb − # Boot up login to admin panel and add sdb to the array, and wait for raid to fully sync. − # Reboot and ensure all drives have been replaced with larger drives and array is in sync and redundant! − # Issue the following commands: − − mdadm --grow /dev/md2 --size=max − pvresize /dev/md2 − lvresize -l +100%FREE main/root − ext2online -C0 /dev/main/root − − In the last command above, the -C0 is: dash C zero − − If you receive an "command not found" error, try this: − resize2fs /dev/mapper/main-root & − − TIP: I put an "&" at end to allow it to run in background even if I close ssh session. − − Notes : − * These instructions should work for any raid level you have as long as you have >= 2 drives − * If you have disabled lvm − # you don't need the pvresize or lvresize command − # the final line becomes ext2online -C0 /dev/md2 (or whatever / is mounted to)

From Bug 6632 and 6630 a suggested sequence for Upgrading a Hard Drive size is detailed below after issue when attempting to sync a new drive when added first as sda
