+- Fix: Empty Disk feature: share data on target disk(s) now remains visible during operation, see [Converting to a new file system type](../using-unraid-to/manage-storage/file-systems.mdx#converting-to-a-new-file-system-type) for usage details.
+  - Removed '-e' option from 'mover' script; use the webGUI now
