I've got a couple of 4tb drives in my pool that were migrated from a very old WHS setup. When the drives were initialised on that system they were initialised as MBR disks limiting them to 2tb (I didn't realise at the time!) Now that I have them spinning in my Drivepool setup I want to extend the partition on the drive to full capacity but to do that I will have to convert it to a GPT drive. There are tools that will let me do that without data loss but my question is:
Will either the conversion to GPT OR the change in partition size cause Drivepool not to recognise the drive?
Should I terminate the drivepool service whilst making this change (or perhaps more reliably restart with 'startup' set to disabled)?
Cheers,
Andrew
