June 18, 201610 yr Hi Apologies for the dim question but I couldn't find the answer. The prime use for my Unraid (6.1.9) is for Plex. I basically want to move data from one drive to another so I can remove it from the array. There is plenty of space on the array before you ask. Can I just putty onto the unraid box and use midnight commander to copy data from one disk to another or is it more complicated? I saw a video Jon did about migrating Steam Games but wasn't sure if it was applicable in all scenarios, but I thought I would ask before I break my PMS. Here's is a brief breakdown of my setup Parity - 6tb Disk1 - 6tb Disk2 - 6tb Disk3 - 6tb Disk4 - 6tb Disk5 - 4tb Disk6 - 4tb Disk8 - Red X (Currently replaced with a hot spare but I want to move data off the drive so I can remove it again) Cache - 480GB Any help would be greatly appreciated.
June 19, 201610 yr Yes, it is as simple as MC from putty. Just make sure you don't mix disks and shares. copy/move from /mnt/disk8 to /mnt/diskX if your plex library is using shares it will never know the difference.
June 19, 201610 yr Yep, mc is your friend. I have been doing exactly what you are planning to do and it is completely transparent to Plex. Emphasis point: MAKE SURE, 100% SURE, that you are moving from disk to disk. Warnings about losing data when moving data between disk and share are abundant and real (I personally tested it!).
