Thanks. I'm in the process of moving files to one disk, so i can reformat the other in ext4 until all are in ext4

follow up question. whats the full command i need to type in for the ext4 format of disk "sda"?

mkfs.ext4 -m 0 -T largefile4 /dev/sdais that correct?

You could do it (BTRFS and SNAPRAID) but it's kind of redundant and needlessly complex. SNAPRAID does more than BTRFS simple volumes. If using SNAPRAID, a simple file system would be best (EXT4 or XFS) and perform better.
See the SNAPRAID page and the section titled:
Which file-system is recommended for SnapRAID ?

Ok thanks. Yes I saw the page, but it didn't really say which one they recommend... So, I would need to move all my data away from the disk in order to reformat it in ext4, right?

or use EXT4 for all of them.

is there a reason to do that?

Hi,

I want to use SnapRaid for my three 8TB disks. The two data disks are BTRFS and I thought that for the parity disk I could use ext4, because with the -largefile parameter, I get 400GB more disk space available and I read multiple times, that the parity drive should be a bit larger...

Does that make sense or should I stick with BTRFS for all drives?

ok i figured out a good way.

i move the shared folder to the other disk first by clicking "edit". then i use midnight commander and go to the mount points of the original location (srv/disk/folder...), select the files and move it into the shared folder directory again. I'm pretty sure thats the fastest way

Hi, I want to move my shared folder folder from physical disk1 to physical disk2. If I edit the "device" of the shared folder, the folder itself get moved to the new drive, but not the data. How can I afterwards move the data as well? i can't see it in Krusader?

Another option could be, to move the data first to another shared folder on the same disk. Let's call the folder "sharemover". Then change the device of the "tvshows" folder and finally move the data to the other disk. Only problem: The moving speed is quite slow... around 150mb/s. Since the data is not physically moving, that seems odd.

Any other ideas from the community?

I'm having the same issue as well. Anybody experiencing the same? Sonarr is at least working fine, but it's really annoying and I would like to see the notifications on the bottom right... In the logs, there are no complaints or errors.

Any suggestions?

I actually just moved my downloads folder to the ssd as well... If a download takes longer, the disk will not spin up

my solution now are two jobs.

1.) systemctl docker stop

2.) sleep 15; systemctl docker start

seems to work so far...

I just realized that i have the same issue... is there a command to delay the start of the whole docker service?

alternatively i want to start a few images a bit delayed and prefer not to do a restart

- connect monitor, mouse and keyboard

- login as root

- type "omv-firstaid"

- try to configure the network adapters and look for errors

yes! it works

another advantage is, that you don't need to spin up your disks, if the docker containers are writing something in the config...

Its actually quite simple. Technodadlife made a video which i just followed... Simple process, but its up to you

Thanks, it actually works great with krusader... Just mounted the synology smb share and started moving

Actually that is the case... Good idea. At least to test it and then see why hdparm is not working as expected.

Thanks

No, the system sees it a different devices... The risk is, that you have it physically on the same disk... But you can backup the appdata on the wd drives. I'm also trying to do that... But before that i have some other issues to fix.

X86. i3-8100T

So in the hd-idle config file i should write the dev-disk-by-label identifier?

how big is the first SSD? you can partition it and install OMV on one partition and use the other as a sharedfolder (appdata). This is not recommended but it works.
