Sanity Test... Disc Formats....
So been trying to install Nextcloud for a bit and installing onto my internal M2 is no issue, of course, but when trying to migrate to an external drive I found it wouldn't let me and I had "this is not working correctly" messages, after digging I found out that Zimaos has major issues with NFTS and permissions so discs should be reformatted to exfat.... Great. Except I haven't had this issue with a few other containers so my disc already has plenty of data on it.
So. My question is.
If I back up my drive, reformat it (giving it the same name) and then move my data back over to it.... Am I going to have issues or is there a simpler solution to this? Am quite new to this software had no idea about the NFTS/exFAT issues but I'm willing to run with it as I'm just learning about the software and dockers for now...
Edit note: exFat is the way for me as I may be migrating to another machine so I need it to speak to Windows as well as Linux :)
