Hi,
Can someone sanity check what i'm doing please.
I have a totally brand spanking new server, with brand new drives. I am therefore needing to decommission the old server and migrate data to the new box.
Rightly or wrongly, i've turned off the old server, and have manually mounted each of the old drives (using UD in RO mode!!!) and coping the data directly using rsync -avzP (in a screen session) direct to the disk share rather than using fuse (to remove the overhead) - i've broken parity while this occurs, I'll then readd the parity drive to rebuild parity once copy is complete.
This has recreated the share scheme on the new server (I wanted to start from scratch so haven't used the existing USB) server is on trial license atm. But none of the unraid existing share permissions are applied (other than linux perms)
When the data is fully copied - any reason why I can't stop new server, copy the existing Pro.key to /config and copy all /config/shares/ over to the new stick, thus setting the shares as they were before (users are identical as only one user), and allowing me to use the automated replace USB stick key regeneration?
I need to manually recreate dockers etc (which is fine)
Sound like i'm making sense? Am I doing anything that strikes you as bad?
