Moving cache app_data between different cache pools manually?


Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone

 

I was wondering when replacing my failed cache pool "cache_appdata" if I can do it quick by moving it to my other cache drive?

Moving all these small file back to the array and then back again to the new cache drive would take days!

 

If the mover can NOT do this between cache pools could I then do this manually:

 

  1. Stop Dockers and VM's
  2. Change pool from cache_appdata to cache_sharesimage.thumb.png.7fe5004905cc7cd472837a094df2220d.png
  3. Run: rsync -avX /mnt/cache_appdata/ /mnt/cache_shares/
  4. remove failed cache pool "cache_appdata"
  5. Insert new replacement cache drive and naming it cache_appdata
  6. Run: rsync -avX /mnt/cache_shares/ /mnt/cache_appdata/
  7. Change "select cache pool" back from cache_shares to cache_appdata
  8. Start VM & docker

 

Or is the only way to wait for all the files to be copied to the array and back again?
