macmanluke Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 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!

macmanluke Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 yea that does seem easier (maybe slightly more risky with redundancy but ill just have to get CAbackup working properly first) Quote Link to comment
