Ah, yes, I have played fast and loose with case sensitivity. However, that's very much a secondary concern for me. My question is if /mnt/disks/mountname to /mnt/disk1/sharename counts as "disk to disk" for the purposes of avoiding the admonition of "do not do disk to share". Tks!

Hello good people! I'd appreciate a quick confirmation that I'm doing this right before I spend too much time doing it wrong. I have created a new Unraid array. I've created a share on it. I wish to move data from old disks to the array without involving the network. To that end, I've installed the Unassigned Disks plugin, mounted the old disks, and started MC in the terminal. The share does appear as /mnt/Disk1/ShareName And this is where I must pause. Repeatedly I see comments to the effect of "disk to disk copy" is OK, but "disk to share copy will certainly bring doom upon us all". (I'm paraphrasing.) I want feel /mnt/Disks/UD to /mnt/Disk1/ShareName qualifies as disk to disk. And it does seem to do what I want! But the presence of ShareName in the path is offering up just enough ambiguity to keep me from forging ahead. So that's the question. Is: cp /mnt/Disks/UD /mnt/Disk1/ShareName ---> OK ? Thanks so much!
