mgadbois Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) I have an older 1TB SSD in a device pool and device and device "Cachessd" (only device in a pool) that is formatted in XFS. I have my appdata share set to "Prefer : Cachessd" I want to replace that drive with a newer M.2 PCIE 4 drive that is 2TB. I also use the drive for downloads. How can I get the appdata off the current SSD and onto the new M.2 drive? Is it as simple as set the share of appdata to "No" for "Use cache pool" and then use the "Mover" to get the data to the hard disk array? Once the new M.2 is installed using BFRS then make the appdata share to prefer the Pool again??? Thanks in advance. Edited January 15, 2023 by mgadbois correct wording Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 You need to use Yes (not No) if you want mover to move files to the array. Mover ignores shares set with the No value. You also need to make sure the docker service (and possibly also the vm service) are disabled while doing this as they keep files open which can stop mover transferring them. Quote Link to comment
