Cloning Cache

[Josh Scheretie]

I am going to be moving from a Kingston 240gb SSD to a Samsung 850 EVO 500gb SSD. I would like to know if I can just use "Ghost" to clone the 240gb SSD to the 500gb SSD and then just plug in the new ssd, set it as cache, and then move on as if nothing else changed? (THE ORIGINAL SSD IS XFS)

 

I am aware that you can use mover to do this process, but this would be 10x faster if I could just clone...

AFAIK never been tried, but doubt it works, even if Ghost can clone a xfs disk, probably can using byte copy, unRAID will most likely complain of an invalid partition.

Gotcha. Okay, so then what if I were to pull ALL THE FOLDERS from the original cache drive manually...then set the new ssd as an Unassigned Device...drop the folders onto it...then set it as cache...would that work?
