billis777 Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 Copy the pool folder from individual hdds, or use the drivepool software to remove the hdds while moving the pool. Should i do 1 hdd at a time or all of them at the same time? Quote
1 Umfriend Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 Use DP. Add as many HDD as you can. Remove one by one. You can do more at one time but it is a serial process anyway. Quote
0 Umfriend Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 You can also use placement limiters I think. Never tried it myself. The advantage would be that when you remove a drive, the files won't be placed on other drives that you would remove thereafter. Requires rebalancing I would think. Quote
0 billis777 Posted July 9, 2020 Author Posted July 9, 2020 Thanks for the info umfriend. Does it matter what size the hdds are when moving the drivepool? I read in other posts that it does but cannot understand why. Quote
0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 No, it doesn't. However, it may be easiest to remove the smallest drives first. Quote
