SOLVED: Question about moving shares folder to new HDD

[Epedrego]

Just got my HDA up and running. I mounted a new HDD using Disk Wiz and am now trying to figure out how to move all my shares to the new drive. I went through this guide, https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Adding ... o_your_HDA, and thought to skip to the step after the drive mounting step, but you need to copy and paste some info from the disk mounting step step. Is there a way I can move all my shares to the new drive with Disk Wiz or without having to copy and paste from the hda-Diskmount command I didn't run? I feel like I missing something here.


Thank you,

NO. You have to move the share folders via command line to the new drive.

You would basically need to do:

Code: Select all

mv /var/hda/files/* /var/hda/files/drives/drive1/

Remember to replace the drive1 with whatever your new drive is named.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Bigfoot. That's what I ended up doing, but I didn't actually move anything since I haven't started moving my files over to the HDA yet. I just created a new directory in the files drives/drive1 directory then went and updated the path in my shares from the dashboard. That's really all I have to do right? There's nothing special about the one liner you posted up above, right? Thanks!

That is correct when creating a new share.

That command will move all existing shares, then all you have to do is update the dashboard. It's a quick solution.

Is this one considered resolved?

Resolved. Thank you

No problem.

Marking as solved.
