trying to empty a disk to change file system

Featured Replies

Hi

I have the ResierFS file system on my disks and I'm trying to empty each disk in turn so that I can reformat in xfs.

I'm following the steps in these notes: https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/using-unraid-to/manage-storage/file-systems/#converting-to-a-new-file-system-type

This is what Ive done so far:

  1. stopped the array

  2. Navigate to Settings → Global Share Settings. In the Emptying disk(s) area, select the disk(s) to empty and Apply

  3. start the array

  4. On Main → Array Operation click Move

Ive done all these steps except on step 4 I don't get a 'Move' button. I have a free disk in my array which is totally empty and of the same size (2tb) that I want to empty so its not like I don't have the free space. Does anyone know what might be going on? There's no read/write access happening on my disks to suggest that mover is working in the backgound.

thanks

Ives

I assume you don't have a pool, if that is correct, there's a known bug, fixed in the 7.3.0 betas. A workaround for 7.2 would be to add a pool or open a terminal window and typemover start

If you still need this it should be fixed in 7.2.5-rc.1, please retest.
