September 21, 20241 yr Hiya, I've recently set up qbittorrent and a couple of 'Arrs. I'm pretty new to it all. I've decided i'd like to move my existing downloads to an Unassigned Device, rather than have it constantly writing to and reading from the array. I had a look at Unbalanced, but it doesn't seem to see Unassigned Devices. So what's the best way to move my directory/sub-directories to the UD? Cheers.
September 21, 20241 yr Community Expert Solution Just to point out that it might be easy to create a pool (with the drive you were thinking up as a UD managed device) and set your downloads share to have that as primary storage and nothing as secondary storage.. In terms of moving existing files probably the easiest option is to use the Dynamix File Manager.
September 23, 20241 yr Author Oh, i hadn't thought of using a pool instead of a UD. Am i correct in thinking that the pool disk would operate very much like the array disks in terms of access (e.g. for Docker), paths (/mnt/user/) etc? If so, that sounds like the ideal. Thank you :)
