[SOLVED] 12 TB disk finally arrived, I used clonezilla. Using advanced settings and -k1 (everything else left as default) made exact disk with more storage. I just replaced disks, powered on and everything is up and running! Ty all ❤️
Hello selfhosters,
I’m running home server DIY PC with *arr stack in docker containers and its working surprisingly well. The problem I have is not enough storage for my needs so I ordered a new HDD.
At the moment I have OS (Debian) and some (config) volumes on one SSD while media library is on another SSD. I’d like to move only media library from old to a new HDD and stop using the old one.
What is the best way to move all files (including hard links?) to a new drive? Can I just copy files with same folder structure and then modify my docker-compose.yaml to point to a new HDD? Is backup and restore of *arr apps necessary? Is there any way to grab all torrent files from qbittorrent (or another way of backup?
Folder structure I have now:
System SSD:
- SSD1/config/sonarr
- SSD1/config/radarr
- SSD1/config/qbittorrent
Data SSD:
- SSD2/data/media/tv
- SSD2/data/media/movies
- SSD2/data/torrent/tv
- SSD2/data/torrent/movies
THX!
Well considering you made the mount point so specific to the drive you might as well change it. 😊 In the future consider something named after the directory’s function rather than physical support, such as /srv/docker/radarr/data. That way you can swap drives at /srv/docker and keep everything the same.
Yeah I felt like it wasnt the best. I did that path in OMV following some guide a while ago.
Thx!
