Migrate Rock server to a Mac Mini M2

I have migrated my Rock server to a Mac Mini M2 Pro.
I had two music data disks. 1 nvme 4 TB internal ssd (in a NuC) and 1 external usb disk.

My Mini can’t read the internal data disk from my Rock server. Is that normal? I thought it was formatted as exfat, so my Mac Mini should read the thing? Am I missing something?

Yes it was probably formatted ext4 on Rock.

I did a similar migration last year and ended up putting a new disc on the Mac and keeping the one on DietPi as a backup music drive.

You can always reformat them but you still need a place where the backup is stored whilst you do copy the data again.

Thanx. That’s it. My bad. I thought it was formatted as exfat and MacOs could handle that.

So I think I have to copy all the files (2 TB) over the network to another drive.

Well, I need another new 4 TB drive for my NAS so we do it the complex way.

Good luck with the transfer.

The M2 Pro should run Roon very nicely.

I run it on an M4 Pro and it works sweetly
