December 15, 20205 yr Hello Looking to upgrade shortly to 6.9 and do the SSD fix - cache ssd pool has written 190TB in a year... In the instructions i noticed it says use mover to transfer cache to array but onto a btrfs drive - is there any reason for this? my array is XFS If its required is there any way of converting a drive without messing up the array/parity etc? Currently have one drive thats empty (and excluded from shares globally) as i moved its contents off when i had a drive start failing recently (since replaced/rebuilt array) thanks!

December 15, 20205 yr Author yea that does seem easier (maybe slightly more risky with redundancy but ill just have to get CAbackup working properly first)
