How do I create a single SSD cache pool without losing data?

[stevejjd]

Hi all, me again (newb).

I have a 10TB parity disk, and a 10TB disk. I have 100% parity.

 

I have several SSDs configured in their own pools. I want to turn them into a single pool. There is data on the cache drives, even after I use the move function there is still data.

I want confidence knowing that my data is safe before creating a new config and turning all the SSDs into a single SSD cache pool.

Does having full parity mean absolutely all data is on the parity device and the disk?

Thanks.

Nope, enable mover logging, run the mover, post the diagnostics.

Sorry I missed this. I ended up using Dynamix file manager to move the files manually and then added the SSDs to a single pool. So far it seems to be working.

I have noticed when mover logging is enabled, I run out of log ram space.

Is it best to use move logging for debugging? or is it to be left on?

Thanks

It is best used only when debugging mover issues.
