Steviewunda Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 If I change disk allocation in a share's properties, will Unraid automatically move existing data to the newly allocated disk? Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment
Steviewunda Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share Posted January 14, 2023 Thanks - how should I move existing data to the share on the newly allocated disk? Quote Link to comment
Kilrah Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 The Unbalance plugin is a common tool for that. Quote Link to comment
Steviewunda Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share Posted January 14, 2023 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? Quote Link to comment
Solution Kilrah Posted January 15, 2023 Solution Share Posted January 15, 2023 Sure as long as you only go between /mnt/diskX and /mnt/diskY, not mixing /mnt/user with /mnt/disk Quote Link to comment
