I recently started using unRAID and I'm thinking of rearranging the folders structure of my shares. Currently, its laid out as follows:

 

/

--Backups

--Data

--Dockers

--Movies

--Pictures

--Recordings

--TV

 

I would like to rearrange it as:

 

/

--Apps

---Backups

---Data

---Dockers

--Media

----Movies

----Pictures

----Recordings

----TV

 

Essentially, create two top-level folders 'Apps' and 'Media' and move other shares under them. However, I'm unsure about how to go about it since I don't necessarily want to physically move the data from individual disks. I store Movies, Pictures, Recordings, and TV on separate hard drives.

 

What would be the best, or the easiest, way to rearrange share folder structure?

 

I would create the Media share, set it up with a split level 0 (manual), so that only a disk with the parent folder already on it would be used (so only a disk, where Media/TV exists would be used for TV Shows. Unraid won't create the TV folder itself.) of course, this can also be obtained by a split level of 2(? not sure). but then a tv show could be split across multiple disks...

 

then I would create the Media Folder on each disk and then move the TV/Movies/Pictures folders via mc to the Media folder:

move /mnt/disk1/TV to /mnt/disk1/Media/TV

move /mnt/disk2/Movies to /mnt/disk2/Media/Movies

 

and so on...

 

You probably already know this, but note that when you have rearranged everything as you have specified, only Apps and Media will still be considered User Shares by unRAID. The others will just be subfolders of those shares.
