Subject: raid1 with several old drives and a big new one
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2020 00:16:52 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200731001652.GA28434@dcvr> (raw)
Say I have three ancient 2TB HDDs and one new 6TB HDD, is there
a way I can ensure one raid1 copy of the data stays on the new
6TB HDD?
I expect the 2TB HDDs to fail sooner than the 6TB HDD given
their age (>5 years).
The devid balance filter only affects data which already exists
on the device, so that isn't suitable for this, right?
Thanks in advance.
