swop out cache drive for a smaller one


Recommended Posts

hey all

 

made a mistake. :-[

i used a 1TB drive for a cache drive and i have all my dockers on there and configs etc.

need to use this disk for data and want to use a 250GB i have lying around

how do i do this ?

is it possible ?

 

thank you

What I would do would be to assign the 250Gig as the cache drive, and mount the old 1tb using Unassigned Devices plugin.  Then copy everything from the 1tb to the 250Gig

What Squid suggested will work. In the past i've just used Midnight Commander to copy the files to the array (after stopping all plugins/dockers/VMs) and then replaced the cache drive and copied the files back. I'd go with his suggestion as depending on the amount of data on your cache, copying to the array may take longer than desired.
