Hi,
i plan to change my disks which are 5x2TB (4x2TB as data disks and 1x2TB as parity in SnapRaid) for 3x8TB (2x8TB data and 1x8TB parity). I am using mergerfs and SnapRaid. On 2TB disk I have shared folders which are used for some services (database, Public_html, KVM, Docker, etc.).
What is the best practice to transfer data to bigger disks and have no problem with running services which are pointed to shared folders on data disks?
1. I mean that 1.st step is to stop all services which are using data disks (if it is possible on running OMV).
2. Then copy data from smaller to bigger disks (it should not be a problem to move all the data from the small disks to one large one) - how to copy data to preserve access permissions?
3. change shared folders paths to new disks
4. change paths in services (database, nginx, KVM, ...)
5. start Services and setup SnapRaid (sync)
Am I right with these steps? Or did I forget something?
