Establishing a pool over existing drives
So, it's finally time to pool.
A bit of background concerning my system. For a couple years now I've run a media server off of a collection of six 4TB drives, splitting them into manually backed-up pairs for 12TB of storage. It's about time to upgrade for space, and I'm finally fed up with how much of a hassle balancing media can be as shows come back and suddenly a relatively stable drive starts getting filled. Now, my original plan is to simply wipe my backup drives, set them up as a driv
Yes thats the "quick and dirty" method - i used it when i setup my pool - 30TB+
As the data is on the disks its a "move" (from outside to inside the poolpart folder) rather than a copy process so is very quick as you are just changing the file location on the disk(s)
