    I recently got some new hard drives and made a new drive pool for Jellyfin. I copied my 40TB library over and got checksums so it should be identical. I want to set jellyfin to use this new SMB share instead of the old one, so I can wipe the old drives and use them elsewhere, and now have more space for more media. Is there any way to do this without scanning library again? I don't want to lose all the manual relabeling and modification of metadata I have done. 

    If there really is no way to do this, is there some way to get a list of all the manual labeling I have done? And at what speed does jellyfin scan? the drive speed? So I have an idea of how long this will take.

    Thanks!
