Safest way to move data from disk to disk (same array)

[Derek_]

I've decided to split up my data a bit, for example i'd like to put my Backups share on one drive, and my media/documents/photos on a different drive.

 

Do i go into share settings and specify a particular disk, and then run the mover? Or is it as simple as going to /mnt/disk1 or using Krusader to do the same?

 

There's some very ancient posts about this topic but i didn't see any recent ones. These old posts seem to have a few mentions of bugs and such.

 

Thanks.

Mover doesn't move data between array drives, you need to do it manually, make sure to always copy/move from disk to disk, never share to disk or disk to share.

So basically either the terminal or Krusader from /mnt/disk1 to /mnt/disk2.

 

And then after that set the share to disk2 (should i want to)?

If you want to make all future writes go there yes, on the share settings include only that disk for that share.
