February 19, 20197 yr TLDR following guide at at step "When the mover finishes check that your cache is empty (any files on the cache root will not be moved as they are not part of any share)" I currently have 21gb that just will not move and I don't consider that empty. See attached photos. Am I in the clear and nothing on there is essential?
February 19, 20197 yr Community Expert Mover can't move open files. You must disable the docker and VM services and run mover again.
February 19, 20197 yr Pretty sure the remaining 21Gb is the docker image and libvirt file.Don’t think it’s a good idea to move these to your new drive it’s much better to recreate them from the Docker and VM tab.Check spaceinvaders video here:

February 19, 20197 yr Docker is easy enough to recreate, some VMs not so much, much easier to move libvirt.img. Yup that is in fact the best way
February 19, 20197 yr Community Expert OK, let's see if we can combine all these different "best ways" into some actual steps to follow. Go to Settings - Docker and disable Docker Go to Settings - VM Manager and disable VMs Run mover and check that cache is empty Go to Settings - VM Manager and enable VMs Go to Settings - Docker. Delete and recreate docker image Go to Apps and use the Previous Apps feature to reinstall your dockers

February 19, 20197 yr Author thanks, everyone for the replies. So I think I figured out what I missed, I didn't disable dockers in my first go around. With that being said I don't actually run anything in the docker so I should be ok to proceed because I didn't actually use anything and this should free up that space on the new cache? I confirmed that the VM was disabled and moved and that was my big worry
February 19, 20197 yr Community Expert If you don't use dockers no need to have docker service enabled, so no need for a docker image. Similar for VMs. Don't enable it unless/until you need it. Curious though why you don't have any dockers but you have VMs. I am just the opposite. Everything I want my server to do I can do in a docker. But I do have a separate desktop machine.
February 19, 20197 yr Author Straight up, I am not too familiar with how the dockers work as far as pathing everything to work correctly. (I tried and couldn't really figure it out) I know how windows work and how to get things running in that. I'm just a noob

This is a genuine question and I’m not trying to sound like a toss. But why do people call them dockers. They are containers.These are dockers:Is this getting to me too much? I think it’s getting to me too much.
February 19, 20197 yr They're called Dockers because the main player in the container space is named Docker www.docker.com Kind of like most people refer to facial tissues by the name Kleenex, since they're the most popular. Edited February 19, 20197 yr by GeekMajic

Oh I get that, I’ve used Docker extensively. But by that yard stick we should call all search engines googles, all servers linuxes, and all online stores amazons?It’s okay I think I’ll take my pedantry to bed and cry myself to sleep
February 19, 20197 yr Author Ok so back on topic, swapped out the drive and changed cache permissions back and invoked the mover. Re enabled VMs but nothing is showing in my VM tab? Do I need to add a new one but all my old windows vm data will just grab? *EDIT* Just tried it, and yup everything is there. Man I love how this software just seems to work all the time.
