Best Practice for Transferring Data To New Drive

Node Operators
,
2
  1. Rsync data from old drive to new drive
  2. Depending on how long the first run took, run it again
  3. Stop the node
  4. Run it again
  5. Change node settings to new drive
  6. Start the node

You could also run the first run with cp instead of rsync (should be little bit faster) but it is harder to see the progress in cp.
