Upgrade Cache Drive

[emuhack]

Server has been running great, (Version: 6.11.5) have a spare 2tb nvme and was going to swap everything out. Put in the new drive and when starting the array forgot to create another pool (duh) and so it added the 2tb to the existing pool and now as you can see (attached image) I have 2nvme in a pool. I want to take out the 1tb and just use the 2tb with my nice nvme cooler and such... My thought process is, select all my shares and set them to YES for the "Use Cache Pool" wait for all to hit the array, them pull both drives and put in the 2tb format and then switch the "Use Cache Pool" to Only and it will move everything back.

 

OR

 

Kill all running Processes except Krusader, and transfer everything manually to the array, then format the 2tb and spin up the array and copy back over?

 

OR

 

Your Input

 

Thanks!

Easiest way would be to remove the 2TB drive, stop array, unassign 2TB drive (leave it unassigned for now), start array, once the pool is balanced back to single you can create a new pool and add the 2TB drive.
