New v6 build need to move data from v4.7 drives

[zaniix]

I did some searches and I do not feel liek I found an answer that I understand so that is why I am posting.

 

Current setup is unRaid 4.7 with 3 drives, I want to boot the system with V6 and 3 new drives and then mount the old drives one at a time to move all the data to the new unRaid. I just have no idea how to do this.

 

I considered just upgrading but it seemed like there were too many potential issues and copying the data over the network will take too long.

 

From v6 how can I simply mount a old unraid drive from 4.7 and directly copy the data to one of the new unraid drives running V6.

 

thanks

Are you intending to not use the old drives in the array? Search for the Unassigned Devices plugin.

I do not want to risk messing up my existing setup until I have a stable V6 running.  My current plan is to build a complete new rig with V6 and then I just have to figure out the best way to get the data there.

 

I may have to just use Teracopy, but this is not efficient,will take a toll on my home network and will take days.

 

You are correct I have no plan to use the old drives in the new system.

Unassigned Devices will let you install and mount the drives without assigning them, or mount them over the network from the existing system.
