[mythtv-users] Moving recordings to a different physical drive

[Dave Ulrick]

Hi,

I've been using a NAS-resident iSCSI LUN of 2 TB to store the majority 
of my MythTV recordings. The NAS has two 4 TB drives in a RAID-1 array. 
Now I'm thinking of converting the NAS from spinning to SSD drives but 4 
TB SSD drives are very expensive (given the ongoing supply chain & 
inflation woes, I doubt they'll get cheaper any time soon). This gave me 
the idea of using two 1 TB SSD drives I have on hand as local storage on 
my backend box. First, I'd move the recordings off the iSCSI LUN onto 
the local SSDs. Then I could rebuild the NAS from scratch using a pair 
of 2 TB SSD drives which are far more affordable than 4 TB drives.

So, to migrate from the NAS to the local SSDs, I think I'll do the 
following:

1. Stop mythbackend.
2. Copy the recordings from the NAS to the SSDs.
3. Remove the recordings from the NAS.
4. Remove the iSCSI LUN's mount point from the MythTV storage groups.
5. Start mythbackend.

Will this cover everything? Will MythTV be able to find the recordings 
OK as long as they are present under a directory in the right storage 
group, or do I have to do anything with MythTV's MySQL database?

Thanks,
Dave
