I would like as many details as possible about moving the disks, already in use by StableBit Drivepool to a new server (new perm home for them).
I recall, from a few years ago, reading that when moving the disks to a new server, just plug them in and DrivePool will see them just fine.
* What "Pool" will it see? Does it create a new one automagically, or do I create one and add them to that new pool?
* If adding them to a new pool, how does duplicated files work when adding 15 disks from a previous pool?
I have duplicated, sometimes 4x, files I'd like to move over.
I have about 15 drives, upgrading to a new system and 4 NEW additional drives to add to the pool.
One reason I picked DrivePool was the direct-access (via hidden folders though) to the files, in the event of a pool/OS failure (or if I wanted to move to Linux or whatever).
