June 9, 20206 yr I currently use UnRAID ver 6.8.3, with a single 250GB HDD. I would like to upgrade to a single 512GB SSD. i don’t need fault tolerance as this is strictly for use as an OTA DVR solution (of which is absolutely not critical if a drive fails). How can I simply clone the HDD into the SSD? Would I do this? 1. add the SSD in the array as a “parity” 2. Unplug the HDD so that it “fails”. would the array then reassign the SSD as the data drive? if not, how can I accomplish what I am trying to do?
June 9, 20206 yr Hi @Rso81. I doubt the planned way you suggest will work like that. I think the easiest for you would be to add the SSD in the Array, then use the plugin "unBALANCE" to have a WebGUI to do the move of all the files and folders from Disk1 (250GB) to Disk2 (SSD). Or, you could do a quick "mv" command in ssh if you like CLI.
June 9, 20206 yr Author Thank you for the clarification.....so I could just format the ssd to xfs, open up a CLI window and do a mv /mnt/disk1/* /mnt/disk2, rip out the old drive and call it a day?

This should work, but you'd need to do a new config to re-assign parity as an array device, still probably best just to copy from one to another.
