Acronics Disk Director claims to be able to do this, and it should be a reasonable enough request, given I have a simple volume on one physical disk.īut who knows, I could lose all my un-backed-up data. I will then rename temp_expand (M: ) to Secondary (D: ), at which I will have a single large volume for my data, albeit dynamic composed of three "disks" in Windows perspective.Īt this point I would really like to return to Basic disks as I suspect there are any number of gotcha's associated with Windows imposing an (unnecessary) layer of virtualization between the OS and my array.
The plan is to move the remaining data from Secondary (D: ) after the next volume shrink/defrag/expand cycle using Auslogics to defrag. I have confirmed the volume temp_expand (M: ) is composed of 8092-byte clusters. Some shuffling is required to convert to 8092 byte cluster size. This is a single RAID 6 array with 8 each Hitachi 5K3000 drives, two of which are the newer 3-platter variants.ġ0TB are used out of a total 16TB available.
If you look at the disk storage management screenshot below you will see Windows Dynamic Disks is still viewing chunks of my RAID6 array is different physical "drives" when I expand temp_expand (M: ). Click to expand.Still moving data, defragmenting and resizing.
