March 12, 20197 yr Hi All I currently have my domains folder as use my cash drive "prefer" But would like the additional speed on my nvme drive, how do I make the move? without breaking my VMs installations And what would be the best way to back them up to the Unraid drives? Thanks & regards to all you great Unraid masters!
March 12, 20197 yr Community Expert If it's already set to cache=prefer jus stop the VM service and run the mover.

Hi again Mr @johnnie.black So then how do I move them to the nvem drive? - mounted as a single drive And I would lose my data "security" having moved it away from the array - 2 parity drives... Any way to backup from the single nvem drive to the Unraid volume/array? As always your input is much appriciated

It won't be redundant, but even if on the array you should still have a backup. 10 hours ago, casperse said: Any way to backup from the single nvem drive to the Unraid volume/array? There's a script to backup VMs, there are also other ways.

Thanks I did the copy to the nvem drive (After stopping the VM service) and then pointed to the new Domains location: I then started VM service and now I get the: I did not move anything else? UPDATE: Logfile says:: root: /mnt/user/system/libvirt/libvirt.img is in-use, cannot mount Edited March 13, 20197 yr by casperse

March 14, 20197 yr Author 13 hours ago, johnnie.black said: reboot OFCOURSE! (Stupid me) - I tested it and it works! but your comment about using the nvme drive as a cash drive made me think, and I had to try it. BOY! that really makes a noticeable difference running dockers, starting is almost instant, and loading of images is better than SSD So I ended up switching back and using the SSD to MV's (Have to look into that script) and another SSD for Plex/Emby Data and now the nvme as cache! and I think I will stick with this setup, I get better daily value/performance on all the dockers running Thanks again @johnnie.black Edited March 14, 20197 yr by casperse
