moving from from disk 1 to disk 2

[itzmillertyme]

Hi guys

I want to move all my files from disk 1 4TB to  disk 2 3TB. Both are disks on my array without a parity. Then use the 4TB as my parity disk. Do I have to move these files in Krusader or if I use tools and change the array will unraid take care of it for me?

unRAID never moves files except for the special case of moving cache-yes user shares from cache to array and moving cache-prefer user shares from array to cache. It never moves files between array disks no matter what changes you make in share settings or disk assignments.

 

You must move them yourself. There are many ways to do so but if you are comfortable with Krusader that will work.

Yes, and to ensure a successful move of all files you need to disable docker and virtual machines. Not just stop the dockers and vm's, disable the services.

mc (Midnight Commander) is a builtin textGUI file manager that is well documented on the internet and easy to figure out.
