I need help with some drive and file management (moving drives around)

[BAZOOKAPANDA]

So here is the short of it.

 

The total contents of my array is 3.5TB (of files and media)

have 2 drives in my array. An old 5TB and a new 4TB

 

I want to get rid of all the data on that 5TB (it was the first drive I added to the array) and have it live on the 4TB

That way I can free up the 5TB to use for parity

(did I mention that I currently have no parity drive, I know I'm sorry and I'm ashamed)

 

So there it is

 

Current config:

No parity

Array: 1x 5TB and 1x 4TB

 

New config:

Parity 1x 5TB

Array: 1x 4TB

 

How do I empty the contents of the 5TB onto the 4TB that I just installed?

 

I also have another 4TB that I plan to add to the array after this maybe I can but my files on there for a brief moment while reconfigure the drives in my array?

 

Thank you

Assuming you have the file manager plugin, click on the "view" icon at the far right of disk1, select all, move, and select disk 2 as the destination.
