I've recently acquired block storage and want to move my users and domains off of my primary storage over to the block storage. I have no idea how to do that. I'm new to DA and have searched some on the forum, but have only seen a couple of instances referring to block storage. Neither of them really offered any insight as to what to do to make this work. Help is greatly appreciated.
Move users and domains to block storage

I solved this but hope someone can use this that has the same issue. All the DA users and domains are located in the home folder. So to make use of that I mounted my block storage to the machine and then copied all the files and folders with permissions from the /home directory to my block storage. Once that was done I removed all files and folders from the /home directory. I then unmounted the block storage and mounted it to the home directory. You have to go into and edit etc/fstab to present it to the machine as a permanent drive so it doesn't disappear when the machine is restarted.
Now the machine recognizes the /home directory as the block storage which is all I wanted it to do and I didn't have to change anything in DA itself.
