January 30, 20251 yr Apologies in advance if this is a dumb question. I have several 4TB drives filled with content that I want to move to my array as quickly as possible. My current cache drive is a 1TB WD (spinning rust) drive. Could I swap in a content-filled drive, designate it as cache and let the mover take it from there? Jeff

January 30, 20251 yr Author Thanks. I was hoping to rely on the mover to balance the content across the array. I'd like to do this unattended. Edited January 30, 20251 yr by pepar

Contents are balanced according to share settings as long as you copy to /mnt/user/[share] or /mnt/user0/[share] (no cache). 14 minutes ago, pepar said: Right format? The drives are exFAT. Nope. Has to be the supported ones for array/pools i.e. xfs, btrfs or zfs. Edited January 30, 20251 yr by Kilrah
