October 4, 20232 yr So I have some old spinning disks with Unraid data on it. And I have new non-spinning disks that are in my unraid. I can start the array on the spinning disks. How do I then copy the data from that to the new set of non spinning disks so that I can decommission the spinning disks?
October 4, 20232 yr Author OOookay. I'm looking at this Github and now I'm confused. https://github.com/dlandon/unassigned.devices What would the exact steps be to: 1. Mount a new drive 2. Transfer data from old to new 3. Remove old drives 4. Add parity to new
October 4, 20232 yr Community Expert You want to install the Unassigned Devices plugin via the Apps tab in Unraid. You will quite likely also want to install the Dynamix File Manager plugin as well if you want file management facilities integrated into the Unraid GUI.
October 5, 20232 yr Author Okay I have dynamix installed and I have mounted one of the new drives. I can navigate to it as "disk" The other shares I can navigate to individually. If I select "copy" - I can't see the "disk" How do I ... Copy from A to B? They're not connected.

October 5, 20232 yr Author Ookey...I'll hack away at the SheBang for a while. Thanks for the info At least I'm a bit closer to my dream of NO MOVING PARTS.... Now if they would just make one 16TB M2 for $199....That would be a dream.
