I am new to OMV, just got it set up on an old Dell T100 server. Internal hard drive space is very limited (2 drives) So I have opted for some externals. So here is my question.
I am going to install a USB 3.0 PCI card into the server. I want to move the one USB hard drive to the ports on the USB 3.0 card for faster transfer. But it already has data and is mounted into the system with shares set up. If I move it do I risk losing the data as it might change the drive designation (sdb1) ?
Can the data remain on the drive and be mounted re-mounted after the port swap without doing a format?
Any help will be appreciated. thanks
