Hi, I have an older fedora install that I need to upgrade. It has 8 Intel SSD 520 Series 240GB disks in there now, mounted on root using an LSI SAS 9260-8i controller. There is about 1.3TB usable space.
I need to upgrade it to add more space. If I bought eight 512GB SSDs, how do I calculate how much usable space I would have after partitioning/formatting using XFS? Can I safely use XFS on the root partition? My strategy to upgrade the system using the eight new 512GB SSDs would be: - Add two regular 2TB disks as RAID1 to the existing system - Copy the 1.3TB of user data onto it - Remove the eight existing 240GB SSDs - Install the eight new 512GB SSDs - Install fedora30 onto the new system - Migrate the old configs from backup onto the new system - Mount the two RAID1 drives onto the new system - Copy data from RAID1 array to new system Do I need to migrate the RAID1 config, or will mdadm figure it out on its own? Anything else I should watch for? _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
