October 17, 2025Oct 17 Hi!Just upgraded to all new hardware and I want to fully replace my old cache pool ( 2x btrfs SSDs) with my new 2x NVMe drives.I'm running 7.1.4. From what I read online I changed my share setting to array and invoked the mover but that didn't do anything since it seems that the share setting only apply to new files.What is the process to move the data from the old pool? I haven't set up a new pool yet with the new drives since I'm not sure what the order of operations should be.Thanks!

You should also have Docker and VMs disabled in Settings as they can hold files open and stop them being moved..
