I have a Synology disk station, mounted with 2 disks (12TB each) running in mirror mode. I have also setup user directory for everyone in my family, meaning there are
I was told if in any event I need to expand my disk space, I can just buy a HD with bigger capacity, take out one of the mirrored HD, plug in the new HD and it will do mirror by itself. Then I just need to repeat this once more with another HD with larger capacity and it will be done.
I am just wondering will the file/directory ownership still presist after the HD switch?? I assume yes as long as I am using the same disk station.
But what if I need to swtich to another NAS, will those file ownership still presist? My disk station is getting old and I am doing some planning to swtich to better and faster NAS. I am also worring what if my NAS crashes one day and I am able to retrieve the files inside the HD if there is file ownership associated with the files.
