disk failure on appdata (docker disk)

[lecrote]

I got an disk failure on my first disk that I put in unraid.

Reallocated sector count is increasing every day by 1

It got appdata folder on it (docker).

I read all the info I can on procedure for moving data from one disk to another.

I just order a new disk arriving in 2 days.

So do I move the data from the disk to another disk and after replace the disk?

Or just wait for the new disk and replace it?

what's the impact if I move appdata folder? are my docker are affected?

Do I have to stop my docker before moving that data from that disk?

 

Thanks

Forget that one I just dig in and my docker are on my cache disk and the plexmedia folder is empty.

I will move the file tonight

 

Thanks

Just replacing the disk is the usual recommended procedure. Moving the data from the disk is really unnecessary activity on a possibly failing disk. Moving actually involves writing to the disk, since it is really a copy followed by a delete, and delete is a write operation.

 

If you have any important and irreplaceable files on the disk then it might be a good idea to Copy the data instead of Moving it.
