Hi Unraid community, I have been using Unraid for the fast few months and I have had a 'SSD' user share with two SSDs for a while. My goal is to separate one of them from the share and then use it as a cache drive. There are files in the 'SSD' share split between Drive 1 and 2. My goal is to separate Drive 1 from the share but it still has files from the 'SSD' share. Steps that I have done so far: - In the 'SSD' share setttings I have only included Drive 2 in the share and excluded Drive 1. The files still live in Drive 1 even after this setting(to my knowledge they don't automatically shift to Drive 2 but it's been a few days since I've done this) I know that moving files manually between drives could break the share, so I have avoided that. Now my thought for getting this done would be: - Dump all of the files from the SSD share to another share or out of the Unraid server - Delete my 'SSD' share - Stop the array and then switch Disk 1 to the Cache pool - Format Disk 2 since it's in a state of a 'broken' share. - Start array, recreate 'SSD' share only with Disk 2 I have docker containers that read/write to the SSD share, but I don't think that will break if my above steps are taken care of because it will be the same paths that docker is pointing to. (Other than permission/ownership of dirs and files but I can always manually replicate ch perms) I want to ask the community their thoughts since there may be another way that I am not considering within Unraid.
