Extra auto-move while drive in pool is lost


Recommended Posts

Pools in unRAID usually use RAID, and when one of the drives is lost, the array continues to provide service, but after a system reboot, the RAID must be manually degraded before it can be remounted.

 

Users may find Pool unavailable after a reboot, at which point they will need to manually troubleshoot the problem, degrade the RAID, mount and backup the files.

 

If there is an auto-move mechanism that can automatically move files from the Pool to the Array when the Pool's RAID reports that a hard drive is lost; then it will simplify the operation that the user needs to do: the user only needs to perform a simple check and replace the damaged drive.

 

For IO performance needs, users may set some shares to be kept only in the Pool, so this extra mover should be individually configurable as to where to move to in the Array, such as which drives to include and exclude.
