Media folder changed

Hello,
i added an hdd to my server and i want to move all media files to this so i changed the media folder to the new mount position and moved all the data.
I can stream with no issue, but if i check in Radarr, Sonarr and qBittorent the disk space keeps telling me it's almost full.
I would like to see the new disk free space instead of the old one.
Also when i use the command df -h in the console my new hdd doesnt show up. I can only see the old one.
Thanks for the help.

Hey @hyprlander!
First of all, make sure your drive is properly mounted in your OS.
Then, you can change your media directory by editing your .env
file, located in /your/install/location/.env
. It's a hidden file, you can see it by running ls -la
in the install directory.
Once you have your mountpoint, you can stop YAMS, change the media directory to the new mountpoint and restart YAMS.
