July 18, 20241 yr Hello there! I've been using UnraidOS for the past 5 years. It was brilliant for my use cases. But, as I grow my home-lab, it is more and more obsolete in my case. So I decided to move out from UnraidOS to a NixOS / Arch server with a Kubernetes Node on it. I have one issue to resolve before moving out, how to get my data out. I currently have a 4 HDD disks, with 2 parity (x2 4TB) and 2 cache drives (1 parity and one 1 as storage). I have around 10TB of data (10TB as primary and around 500GB as cache) and I can't afford to buy a huge disk to move my data out and put it back in when my new server is set up. Is there a solution for it? My guess is that, if I just unplugged UnraidOS, just plugged the drives into another computer, I might miss some part. I don't know what type of software parity unraid is using (I would guess something like RAID 6). Thank you! P.S: Thanks to the UnraidOS team for bringing an awesome solution in the home-lab/nas ecosystem!
