My server had a 5 TB parity drive, 5 TB data drive, 2 TB drive, 1.5 TB drive, and a 500 GB cache drive. I wanted to replace my 2 TB & 1.5 TB with a 4 TB drive, then use the 2 TB as my cache drive.

I followed THIS and used rsync -avX /mnt/disk2 /mnt/disk4 and rsync -avX /mnt/disk3 /mnt/disk4. Now I have disk 2 and disk 3 shares. My 4 TB drive has a few folders, but has a disk3 folder and disk2 folder now. I see my files inside those folders, but I can't see them when I access my music share. Can I just move them up a level and get rid of the disk3 folder within the disk4 folder?

Thanks in advance

Actually you didn't, you're missing a /, it should be:

 

rsync -avX /mnt/disk2/ /mnt/disk4

Yes

Do I have to do anything so that my shares repopulate with the files if I move all the data?

 

Also, when I used the new configuration script, it got rid of all my dockers.  Do I haves to reinstall them all and reconfigure them again or when I move all the files back, will they 'come back'?  I have my appdata backed up, but have never had to use it.  Thanks for helping this noob out.  The level of support here is so much better than the AMAHI forums.  One of the main reasons I made the switch from amahi.

 

Thanks again.

Shares are all top level folders, so nothing more you need to do.

Depending what what was done exactly you may need to recreate the docker image and add all dockers from the my-templates, that's easy to do and if appdata is in the same place all options/config will be maintained.
