March 10, 201115 yr Another NUB with questions... sorry. I have an existing XBMCLive system that has a 1TB data only drive in it formated ext3 full of movies and TV shows. This week I started putting together my unRAID server using parts mostly laying around. I have unRAID 4.7 up and running with 2 drives 650GB and 500GB, no parity drive yet. I've been using it all week as a target drive for crashplan off of 2 computers... 1 running OS X (NFS) and a Win7 (SMB) and it's running great so far! I have a 2TB drive on the way to use as a parity drive. Can I just pickup my 1TB ext3 XBMC data drive and put it in unRAID somehow without a format? Or do I need to migrate the data off the drive before adding it to the unRAID array; then migrate the data back once the drive has been added and formated by unRAID?
March 10, 201115 yr The file system is not supported. You will have to move the data off the disk to add it to the array. You could mount and share it but it wouldn't be part of the protected array (any you have to do the mounting and sharing it outside of the unRAID web interface). Peter
March 10, 201115 yr Author Cool thanks for the quick reply. That was my guess. I'll just: -drop the new 2TB drive in my OS X box, -copy the data over from XBMC and move the 1TB drive into the unRAID array, -then migrate the data back to the unRAID server, -and add the 2TB drive as the parity drive.
