Yes, because the filesystem on the internal drive is EXT4 – unless you are running special device drivers for MacOS/Windows, which I don’t suggest, you will have trouble copying the data.
Hmm. I’m not sure I’m following this. As it’s likely that I’ll be looking to upgrade my internal storage on my ROCK NUC in the future, I’d better get this right… What I thought I would need to do is:
Take a backup of my music files and folders (and by that I mean a file copy) over the network to another drive. (I use Allway Sync running on my PC for this).
Shut down ROCK
replace the internal drive in the NUC
Boot the NUC
Stop the Roon Server using the web administration page.
Format the new drive in the NUC using the web administration page.
Copy back the music files and folders.
Start the Roon Server.
I’m not sure where “extending the partition” comes into this? Thanks.
I plug the new drive to my NAS using USB connection
I format the drive with EXT4 filesystem
Then I copy all the music to that new drive
Then I swap the drives in the NUC
Option_2 (Geoff_Coupe’s)
Shut down ROCK
replace the internal drive in the NUC
Boot the NUC
Stop the Roon Server using the web administration page.
Format the new drive in the NUC using the web administration page.
Copy back the music files over the network
Start the Roon Server
Won’t Option_2 mess up my Roon database when Rock boots with a blank drive?
I’ll take at least 30 seconds before I can stop Roon from the web interface…
Following up on this since I am doing this very thing right now, moving from a 2TB internal Samsung SSD drive to a 4TB internal Samsung SSD drive in my Intel NUC running ROCK.
I have removed the existing SSD drive and am copying its contents onto my NAS. I have shutdown the NUC, installed the new SSD, and re booted the Intel NUC running ROCK. What do I need to do to see the new 4TB drive as internal storage on Roon? I do not see it in the Rock.Local web interface nor as internal storage in the Mac Roon Interface under Settings ->Storage.
It is also not present when viewing the Rock - Data directory under MacOS, I see the Storage folder, but is empty.
Am I missing a step or do I need to wait for ROCK to format the new internal disc, or do I need to do something to format the new internal SSD drive?
Never mind - for whatever reason - perhaps user error - it took about 8 attempts to reseat the Internal HD in its harness for it to show up. Issue resolved.
