January 14, 20233 yr If I change disk allocation in a share's properties, will Unraid automatically move existing data to the newly allocated disk?
January 14, 20233 yr Community Expert Just now, Steviewunda said: If I change disk allocation in a share's properties, will Unraid automatically move existing data to the newly allocated disk? No. Unraid never automatically moves files between array drives. Changing Share properties only applies to where new files are placed, existing files are not affected.
January 14, 20233 yr Author Thanks - how should I move existing data to the share on the newly allocated disk?
January 14, 20233 yr Author I recently lost data using Unbalance, even after a successful dry run, so I'm a little wary. Can I simply use Krusader or File Manager to copy/move files that remain on the 'old' disk after allocating a different disk to that share?
January 15, 20233 yr Community Expert Solution Sure as long as you only go between /mnt/diskX and /mnt/diskY, not mixing /mnt/user with /mnt/disk
