Best Method to Move Appdata / Docker to Another Drive ?


Recommended Posts

Hi - I have added another disk to my server so I can dedicate it to my appsdata and docker image as it currently resides where media files do.

 

This disk is not an SSD so I have decided it is not worth making as a cache (happy to be corrected) so I have set it as standard storage area for the array.

 

With this in mind I want to move the folder lock stock and barrel then limit what disks can be used so data stays on the disk only.

 

Can some one advise the best method for this please ?

 

Many thanks

Hi all... just to let you know this worked although I renamed the old folders on each disk appdataold so I had a back up as well but I had a heart stopping moment when all my shares and dockers would not fire back no matter what I did.

 

If any one else gets this I simpley rebooted and all was well - I hope that helps any one else in a simular posotion.

 

Once again @Squid thank you for your help...
