Standard &#34;dumb&#34; stripe RAID is just as picky about using the lowest common denominator of all the drives in the array. And the trick is to replace like-for-like unless the size isn&#39;t really manufactured anymore (I have an old 1TB &#34;scratch array&#34; that&#39;s currently down a drive, and I literally *cannot* find any new 1TB mechanical drives to replace it, to the point I&#39;m contemplating switching it out for an SSD...)<br/><br/>The only filesystems I know that actually support mixed-size drives are BTRFS (which *still* doesn&#39;t have a journal for raid5/6, so you&#39;re stuck with an inefficient raid1 if you don&#39;t want to risk parity corruption that&#39;s quite hard to detect until it bites you on the junk) and bcachefs, and the latter was kicked out of mainline for *multiple* reasons, stability being one of them... 2026-08-24T23:29:29Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9nqg958skt4w4rnlgtk8qzl90vse8wu8eurmjpvqc4jacg3vlzfszyql4epl69n4kgemejpv4j94h3s6tnlrcm62gjzesz6f85556dguf5nkcjzh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsga274s64n9rrtaq0lrvvd96uff56dnzt4wh7wzdnnnq4n2t3et5cjf9fez'>nevent1q…9fez</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>That&#39;s the 32TiB limit I mentioned, so if you&#39;re hitting *that* you probably need something bigger than postgres... 2026-08-22T22:11:36Z
