Iā€™m on nextcloudpi 15.0.4, and when I try to use nc-datadir to move my data to a USB drive it shows a success in the menu but doesnā€™t actually move anything, with the data still stored on my SD card. Iā€™m including the output which appears to be correct, but as stated doesnā€™t actually change anything on the USB drive.

In spite of this, even after moving the directory, afterwords this still shows on the dashboard:

Is your drive mounted correctly?
If you add a file (with another computer) to your HDD can you see it in your raspberry?

Hi, thatā€™s really strange behavior :thinking:.
Can you perform the following command and retry?

sudo bash -c 'systemctl stop php8.1-fpm && source  /usr/local/etc/library.sh && clear_opcache && systemctl start php8.1-fpm'

Unfortunately, I tried but Iā€™m still getting the same issue.

I think so, but Iā€™m admittedly not great at navigating the terminal. It shows up when I enter ā€˜mountā€™, at least.

Update: changing the SD card I was putting the image on seems to have corrected the problem, the most recent attempt succeeded. So It could have been a hardware problem on my end.
