Question about share pools and moving files after excluding/including disks

[Victor90]

I've recently gotten 4 more 8TB drives and added them to the share, I've been looking to diversify my share pools and compartmentalize files. I know I've read sometime before that this is not generally recommended but I'd like to have each share have its own drive/its own drive pool to make only one drive spin up instead of multiple drives at once, both for longevity of the drives and to reduce the noise.

 

So here's the question - if I edit an existing pool, exclude the already existing disks and include one of the new ones, does unraid automatically move the files to the new disk? Or do I need to create a new share with new disk settings and manually move the files?

Unraid never automatically moves files between array disks - this is always a manual operation if you want it done.
