    When the size changes, you must intervene manually on the database (howtos will follow).

    Any chance I could get that how to on manually updating the database? I’m kinda stuck without that and I don’t really want to go through re-adding all of the tags.

    Thanks,
    Jimmy

    during initial tests we found some disks do not specify a serial number correctly, so we had to do that.

    That’s interesting,

    unfortunately this is not a small change, though it may look so; it is a lot of work, as it requires to update all the stored procedures and will require a database upgrade. So we won’t be able to do this soon. We have more urgent updates to make first. I will try to stick in the next bugfix release, but I can’t guarantee.

    I understand a permanent fix can take a while, and this is obviously a minor thing so not a priority. I was referring to what you said here:

    When the size changes, you must intervene manually on the database (howtos will follow)

    About a manual intervention with the database. Since it’s not critical data I can put it on an external drive for now, so I just need a way to manually fix the database to point to the new drive if possible, thanks!

    Thank you for the reply and I would appreciate a way to manually change it as a temporary fix. I’m surprised this doesn’t come up more often for home users since FreeNAS, NAS4Free and ZFS for Linux all use this same file system which is popular for home users and even some small businesses.

    I can understand using the Serial # of the disk but why is add the extra restriction of the partition size? Or since many people probably don’t need the extra verification (for me I don’t because it is always auto-mounted to the same location), a simple option to disable it would be nice.

    Thanks again for helping! And the software is awesome, this is the only major issue I’ve had so far!
