So next prolly

Clear old raid metadata first, good practice:

mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdd
mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sde
mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdi

mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md17 --level=0 --raid-devices=3 /dev/sdd /dev/sde /dev/sdi

And next

cat /proc/mdstat # show which raids are active (sometimes md# will change, possibly when changing sata ports)
mkdir -p /mnt/md17 # Make a directory for it
mkfs.ext4 /dev/md17 # This creates a file system on device md3
mount /dev/md17 /mnt/md17 # mount it to a directory

blkid /dev/md17

/dev/md17: UUID="0697cb28-bf1a-405c-b0d5-26977ca80545" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4"

UUID=0697cb28-bf1a-405c-b0d5-26977ca80545 /mnt/md17 ext4 defaults,nofail,discard 0 0

screen -S movies

rsync -avzP /srv/samba/media/Movies/ /mnt/md17

Now just waiting till rsync is finished and can move umount movies, mount md17 to movies, change/update fstab to reflect. Reload, and see where we are from there. Will only have a few more tb available after this so gonna have to find a 16tb drive to raid.

Stop radarr

root@server:# umount /srv/samba/media/Movies
root@server:# umount /mnt/md17

nano /etc/fstab
move /srv/samba/mediaMovies to /mnt/md17 and vice versa

Actually going to use filezilla, sftp with key file.

1 16tb drive in /mnt/md17 now

systemctl daemon-reload

mount /srv/samba/media/Movies/
mount: /srv/samba/media/Movies: /dev/md17 already mounted on /srv/samba/media/Movies.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.

df -h # to verify location/mount/size
