Move datadisk Help

Hi Guys -

I’m trying to use the ‘Move Datadisk’ in Home Assistant to mount a Seagate 5 TB HDD (Formatted as NTFS, exFAT, FAT32, EXT4). The hard drive is powered via an USB hub. Home assistant is able to recognize the device and it showed /dev/sda.

Tried it last night via the UI and waited for 8+ hours. HA didn’t come back on. So i rebooted my Home Assistant Blue manually this morning. HA came back online but, the HDD wasn’t mounted.

Tried the same via Command line now and it’s over an hour since HA became unreachable.

Any ideas on how to debug this issue further? Thanks in Advance.

FYI, I’m on 2022.8 Core version.

### The problem [core-ssh ~]$ ha os info board: rpi4-64 boot: B data_disk: /…dev/mmcblk0p8 update_available: false version: "8.5" version_latest: "8.5" So I've been trying to debug move data disk for the last couple of days. Sadly without any progress. I've been trying to migrate my data disk to an external USB device (yes functioning perfectly on Mac and linux). Ways attempting to move: via UI: System -> Storage -> Move datadisk Result: System reboots, GUI says wait. Hours later, still spinning and waiting. Visiting home assistant via a new browser window reveals that nothing was moved to data disk and everything is still mounted under /dev/mmcblk0p8 via CLI: HA reboots and system is functional as usual. Interesting however, on plugging the usb into my linux machine, it is mounted as home assistant data disk, empty. ### What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue? 2022.8.7 ### What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core? _No response_ ### What type of installation are you running? Home Assistant OS ### Integration causing the issue System/Storage/Move Datadisk ### Link to integration documentation on our website _No response_ ### Diagnostics information _No response_ ### Example YAML snippet _No response_ ### Anything in the logs that might be useful for us? ```txt no. host logs upon reboot https://bin.disroot.org/?b8292adb42074f41#7duYFJRNWBjr1QR1SgHf8LLh6ayeVmw3SiUisGRjAx89 ``` ### Additional information Also affected: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/move-datadisk-help/448317

Yes. I was able to resolve this issue by using the Home Assistant UI to Move datadisk. That did the trick for me. Good luck!
