June 18, 20251 yr Good day all. I've spent the last 2 hours trying to get the appdata contents from my main array to a newly created secondary SSD based RAID 1 pool. I was able to create the Pool and change the appdata settings to the new pool as storage only. I disbled docker in settings and i even rebooted the server and ten tried mover and it is not moving the appdata files from the main array to the new pool. I am running 7.1.3. Any help would be apreciated. Not sure what I'm missing or should I just use unbalance to move the files?
June 18, 20251 yr Community Expert Mover will only take ction if you have both Primary and Secondary Storage set.You could also use the built-in File Manager to do this.
June 18, 20251 yr Author The built in file manager does not allow moving to the cache drive. Its not in the target pull down. I'm pretty sure I tried adding the secondary but you think I should do the pool as the secondary and they swap them after the operation is completed?

This time, the Docker services were stopped, so I got the mover options in the shares menu. It is moving now. Thank you. It's always the small details. LOL
June 18, 20251 yr Author Thanks @itimpi , another related question. i created the secondary pool but it looks like i missed something. this is how the pool is showing its status:
June 18, 20251 yr Community Expert Pool is degraded because one of the devices was removed, possibly dropped offline, post the diags if you didn't reboot yet.
June 18, 20251 yr Author I just created the pool. The drive is visible. I think I missed a step setting up the pool. I added the diag. theforce-diagnostics-20250618-1129.zip
