I'm sure this is a noob question, but I just cannot seem to find the answer, so I'm likely searching wrong.
I just got my server up, all is well, array is started, Disks are formatted in XFS. Can I just... straight up transfer my files from NTFS formatted external drives to the XFS array...?
These are my Plex movies/shows here. I'm migrating Plex from Windows to Unraid on all new hardware, and will be rebuilding my Libraries completely. I have not been able to find any answer to this. After trying to find the answer, I just have more questions:
- Is straight transferring possible? I... proceeded to do it, and it seems totally fine!
- Is it recommended or not recommended?
- Did my XFS drives get reformatted to NTFS by doing this? They still say XFS in Unraid, but as mapped network drives in Windows, they say NTFS...
- Did I end up creating an NTFS partition when I copied the files?
- What would I do about this? I have loads more files to transfer still
Thank you for time
