I have created a pool and added 3 drives, all which have existing data on them. The end goal is to migrate all of the data to the pool. I have moved some data in 2 different ways so far.
First I open up my pooled drive (X:) and 1 of the other drives (E:), and simple copy from E: to X:. This copies the data, which I do not want, as I simple want to move it. Also, it is slow as it copies the data.
Second I opened my E: drive and manually moved files directly into the hidden 'poolpart' folder. This instantly moves it to the pool without copying.
I am wondering, if there a negative impact of doing this? I understand I would likely need to do a remeasure after doing this, but are there any potential issues I should be aware of?
Also, if this is a standard practice, I apologize for the question!
