shall i take a pic? i see the 2 parts part 1 i see a button "mount" part 2 not i can also see there that part 1 is only 2gig and part 2 almost 2tb my data is on part 2

im using unraid 4.6 yes i have unmenu yeah i know the tiny pic but i cant copy paste it im using putty... then i just take a printscreen, copy past in windows paint, and upload it

this doesnt look good although i got that message i did cd /mnt/disk/dune and im at /mnt/disk/dune now can i check if its the right partition? how do i show up the directorys, and copy it to my data disk in the array also "ls" under /mnt/disk/dune doesnt show up anything

it says yes now can you help me bit further so i can copy, cause i've been trying ages to do copy 2tb I'm sorry I didn't notice the WD- as being part of the serial number earlier. I don't use WD drives. I'm going to add this to the first posting to help make this more visible. Thanks for hanging in there with it. How many partitions got mounted? Do the cd /mnt/disk and ls. no problem thank you for hanging on, if you could do a little more so i can finally start copying i dunno how many partitions got mounted? the 2 files say yes (but all the other disks has 2 too, and they only have one partition, so i dont know) if i do cd /mnt/disk it says is doesnt exist if i do cd /mnt/ and then ls he says disk1

it says yes now can you help me bit further so i can copy, cause i've been trying ages to do copy 2tb when i try to typ in the prompt cd /mnt/disk/dune he says it doesnt exist also /mnt/disk doesnt exist

using cat /boot/config/snap/snap.list is see: wmaza1502825=dune 1502825=dune using cat /boot/config/smb-extra.conf i see: do this: snap.sh -r dune snap.sh -r dune snap.sh -a wmaza1502825 dune Then check again to see if the drive shows up. cd to /mnt/disk and type ls check with snap.sh -listDeviceConfigurationInfo (he doesnt show then) or cat /boot/config/snap/snap.list? (that one shows wmaza1502825=dune (only one now) if i cd to /mnt/disk he says no such file or directory

it doesnt work its not getting in the devices list i've typed snap.sh -a WMAZA1502825 dune snap.sh -a WMAZA1502825 ata-dune snap.sh -a 1502825 dune all dont work and with the middle one he says entry already exists wmaza1502825=dune although he doenst show up in the list and if its normal i cant see it in the list (i dunno why, maybe i need to restart to show it up, i dunno), i still cant get it from the root with cd /mnt/disk/dune cd /mnt works cd /mnt/disk not cd /mnt/disk1 doest

Don't put the [ and ] brackets when you use it. Those are used to illustrate that it's a parameter you provide but you shouldn't actually include them. ha ! stupid of me!

Linux can create an ATA and/or SCSI name for the device...they are both the same thing. Linux also can move the /dev/sd? device names around so that is why SNAP uses the /dev/disk/by-id device names because the serial id is unique and dependable. euh bit chinese for me, what do you mean by it? i think i understand what you mean.. the first line you mean i should call the device for example [ata-dune] or [scsi-dune]? the second line is the answer to my question why dev/sda , sdb and sdc changed..

Once i would succeeded you say: 4. Copy data from dune disk to the unRAID data disk. There are a variety of ways to do this but the most effecient is to telnet into the unRAID server and run some copy command from the command line. From the unRAID command line the dune disk will be located at: /mnt/disk/[sharename] and the unRAID arrays disks will be located at: /mnt/disk1 or /mnt/disk2 and so on and the unRAID array user shares are located at: /mnt/user/ say my disk has a folder named "films" how do i copy all that and submaps to the disk whats the command? im not much into linux yet, is it the same copy command from dos?

to assign drives i need to 4. Assign the drive to Snap: snap.sh -a [serialnumber] [sharename] i ve looked at my list the one with the data has serial nr wmaza1502825 how come i see this device twice? (cause of the two partitions?) but then how come i see the others also twice(which has only one partition)? another thing, before i added this device, sda was serial nr 2312119 ,sdb was 2325257 now i added 2325257 to the array (as you can see) but now that one is sdc? and the one i added is sdb in short so i type in snap.sh -a [1502825] [?] or snap.sh -a [WMAZA1502825] [?]

DO NOT add the jumper... not until AFTER you've copies ALL the data off the disk... and perhaps not even then. If you add the jumper now, all the files on the disk will be lost, un-readable, the disk partitions not recognized. If you add the jumper later it is possible that you'll need to specifically overwrite the first 4k of the disk before it will be recognized by most of the utilities on linux. There are more horror stories of problems after adding a jumper than just leaving the disk as it is. You can search and decide for yourself. The firmware on the disk does not like to have the setting changed after you have partitioned and formatted the disk. It reacts by locking up and not responding to commands to read sector 0 (the MBR). phew glad i thought about it, i was about to install it, when it just crossed my mind... i thought i read something about it well, im not going to add the jumper however not even afterwards? i installed jumpers on both other 2 new wd 20ears and have no problems at all...

Another question i have regarding snap the disk where the data is on (the one from the dune, also WD 20ears) has no jumper yet installed can i put a jumper on it (so its ready once i copied the disk for the unraid array?) or do i wait install snap, copy disk then put the jumper on, then preclear... and add to the array or is it safe to put the jumper on right away? then go with snap to copy...

There is ALWAYS some risk when you start un-plugging/plugging in hardware. You could physically damage the drive, the connector, the cables, or electrically zap the electronics with a static discharge. You can be careful and minimize the risk, but nothing will be 100% safe. It is not terribly difficult. unRAID can read ext2, and ext3 if mounted as ext2. I don't know if SNAP can mount the ext2/3 partitions, but it probably can. I do know they can be mounted using the disk-management age in unMENU. You can probably as easily copy the data over the LAN. (and likely more safely) It will be slower, but perhaps not as much as you might think. Joe L. i tried copying over the network but its way too slow 2MB/sec i think that's cause of the dune, cause i tried copying before and it was wayyyyy faster, thatswhy im looking for another method if copy over network it takes 14 days! to copy the 2TB (thats a bit too long)

Ok, the requestor wants to copy data from a hard drive currently installed in second machine onto unRAID but not do it across the network. Instead connect the drive up in the unRAID server and copy disk to disk which is much faster. In this case, he wants to use SNAP to mount the foreign drive. And then after the data is copied then wants to add the new drive to the unRAID array. So essentially, adding the drive to SNAP, copying the data, removing from SNAP, and the preclear the drive to ready it for unRAID use. The major steps would be: 1. Install SNAP on the unRAID server. 2. Connect the dune disk in the unRAID server. Shutdown server and install hard drive. 3. Add the dune disk to SNAP. Telnet into the unRAID server and cd into the /boot/config/snap folder. Run ./snap.sh -a [serialnumber] [sharename] Read How to Assign drives to Snap section on first page of this thread. Simple process but you have to discover the hard drives serial number and that's mostly what the procedure explains how to do. 4. Copy data from dune disk to the unRAID data disk. There are a variety of ways to do this but the most effecient is to telnet into the unRAID server and run some copy command from the command line. From the unRAID command line the dune disk will be located at: /mnt/disk/[sharename] and the unRAID arrays disks will be located at: /mnt/disk1 or /mnt/disk2 and so on and the unRAID array user shares are located at: /mnt/user/ 5. Verify all your data is copied. I use Beyond Compare which is a folder comparison tool that runs on Windows but you have to decide how to do this. EDIT: Wow, they have a linux version now! 6. Remove the dune disk from SNAP. Telnet to unRAID. CD to /boot/config/snap folder. Run ./snap.sh -M [sharename] Run ./snap.sh -r [sharename] 7. Preclear the dune disk to make it ready to be used in unRAID array. This is 100% safe? and relatively easy to do? Also i have used the hdd which is in the dune now, for system storage.. its formats the drive to 2 partitions in ext2/ext3 format one for system storage, and for the data which i want to copy now explanation system storage on dune dune_service_make_system_storage_on_hdd_partition.dsf Reformats am empty HDD to two partitions, and initializes System Storage on one of these partitions, w/o reinstalling the firmware. NOTE: Using this service on 1.0/2.0 models will correctly initialize System Storage, but will not install Extra Applications; Extra Applications can be installed later by updating/reinstalling the firmware. NOTE: The HDD intended to be reformatted by this service must be empty and must contain just single partition or no partitions at all (and this HDD must be the only such a HDD attached to the player). If it is not empty or contains several partitions, reformat it first (e.g. using the player built-in format function: choose HDD in the main menu, press INFO RC button, choose "Format Disk"). NOTE: This service reformats the HDD to two partitions (one using 2GB and second using the rest of HDD), and initializes the first 2GB partition as System Storage. The second partition is NOT formatted by this service; if you want to format it (and you probably do), you can format it e.g. using the player built-in format function: choose the HDD in the main menu, press INFO RC button, choose "Format Partition"). my question now is, before i start with snap, is this a problem?

k thx found it, and i got the command line now thx for all the help guys... great feedback here !

how come this is blank to me?

it works, thx for the tips !

You must enable the viewing of BOTH "hidden" and "system" files to see the files it creates. i did , but it doenst show anything edit: nevermind , thx for the tip, hidden was shown, but system not, thatswhy i didnt see its good now, thx
