OK, now it (I:) is showing up but inside there are no files.

 

E

F

G

H

 

Are my other drives. E is nearly full. Shouldnt I see everything in E, inside of I?


Pool file duplication has be turned on (x2). I plan to change it to "folder" duplication for certain ones x2 and critical ones x4.

 

Why isnt it showing up?

Not till you move that data into the hidden pool part folder. This is completely normal and how it is supposed to work since added a drive with data already on it.

 

I'm on my phone so I can't link you to the article but I believe it's called pre seeding a drive or something like that. Check the wiki and it will walk you through the steps. It's extremely simple.

This.

 

And the move should take a very short amount of time.

 

Any time you move data around on the same disk, it does a "smart move", where instead of re-writing the data, it just changes the directory entries for the files.  This can take a few minutes (up to ~30, depending on the number of files and folders) 

 

So this is MUCH faster than straight up moving the files to the poo.
