September 23, 20223 yr Hello. I currently am using Open Media Vault for my home nas and looking to migrate to Unraid. My question is I already have 2 existing mirror raids (2x2tb-2x6tb) formatted with ext4. Would I just be able to plug in the Unraid boot usb, and it see the existing raids without data loss, or would I have to copy everything off, reformat, and copy back? Thank you.
