[Question about rsync and copying files from different sources into the same folders]

The problem is this is a 14TB external HDD with over 300,000 files. From hereon out your suggested method is how I will put files in, but for now I need to get all the data into Unraid. 

[Question about rsync and copying files from different sources into the same folders]

Lets say I am copying files from one External HDD A to Unraid. Afterwards, I need to copy files from External HDD B to Unraid. Both external HDDs have the same folder structure, but with different files inside. For example, both external HDDs might have folders called: "Movies" "Documents" "Pictures", etc. But the files within them are completely different.

I've already copied the contents of External HDD A to Unraid. Now I need to copy the contents of External HDD B as well. How can I copy them and merge the folders? I don't want to lose any files or have anything overwritten. If I had a big enough external hard drive to begin with, I wouldn't be in this mess, but here we are.

The rsync command I used was

rsync -avh --progress /mnt/disks/External_HDD/ /mnt/user0/Username

Can I use this command again and have it automatically continue copying new files into existing folders without any disruptions? Or is there a different command I need to use? Or do I need to copy it to a different location on Unraid and then use Krasder or MC to move everything over?

Thanks

Hello,

 

I just downloaded & installed the Unraid OS through the USB Creator on a SAMSUNG BAR Plus 32GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive. The motherboard is an Asrock Rack W480D4U. I'm booting into the UEFI, but I can't boot into Unraid. I'm connected over IPMI.

 

For Boot options, I can pick:

• "UEFI: Samsung Flash Drive 1100, Partition 1"
• "UEFI: Build-in EFI Shell",
• "Disabled"

I've tried putting Boot Option #1 as the Samsung flash drive & I've tried putting Option #2 as both the Built-in EFI & disabled settings. Both still bring me to the UEFI. (Picture attached)

 

Under Advanced --> USB Configuration: I've tried setting "Legacy USB Support" to "Enabled" as well as "UEFI Setup Only". No difference

 

What else can I try? Do I need to update or roll back the BIOS? I'm not sure how to even do it on this server-type motherboard. I've only ever used consumer boards in the past where you update the BIOS by either downloading it manually onto a flash drive or by letting the BIOS automatically download it over the internet

 

Thanks for reading
