Thanks for the handy script! It only had trouble moving "Plex Media Server" because of the spaces, but did that manually (spaces cause issues at multiple places in the script)

Another helpful command for changing all symlinks from /volume1 to /volume2 is:

find . -lname '/volume1/*' -printf '%l\0%p\0' | sed -z 's|^/volume1|/volume2|;n' | xargs -r0n2 ln -sfT

@nobodypb thank you, worked fine !

Sooooo just to be clear here...If I want to move everything off of Vol1 and Vol2 to be on Vol3, I'd run this script twice (changing the source each time to vol1 then vol2)? After it's done, can I then delete vol1 and vol2 and add their space to vol3?
