Hi Johnnie. Thanks so much for your help! I don't know what exactly I'm supposed to put in path.to.source.disk or destination.share/ Also when I run this. What will the end result be? Thanks! Jon

Thanks! I've never used a command prompt so I want to be crystal clear if you don't mind to make sure I am doing the exact right thing for the right purpose. A few questions. 1) In the new command prompt where do I put the name of the source disk and the name of the folder in the array? 2) Exactly What result will this yield for me? 3) do I copy and paste this in the command prompt? 4) where can I find more info about rsync and the various commands and what they do? Thanks!

And just to be clear I am copying a disk into the array.

Sorry. I don't see where to type it. can you be more specific on where to find it exactly. Thanks. I'm not very knowledgeable about much of the terminology. thanks!

thanks 88 . i'm a newbie and not much pf a computer guy. Can you walk me through exactly what you are talking about . Is rsync a pluggin? where do I type what you have written? Thanks!

Hi I started copying an 8tb disk and the power cut on the server. I started again copying selected folders that weren't copied. I deleted some folders in the destination to make sure that there weren't any partially copied folders. Now the file numbers are not equal between the disk and the folder I put it in. -off by about 3000 . How exactly do I do the copy again , knowing that it will skip the files that are there and copy the ones that are missing so that the numbers will be exact. and I can be assured that it is an exact copy. Or what else can I do to be assured that this was an exact copy and what can I do to fix it if it wasn't. Thanks Jon

Thanks very much!

New Topic. I was copying a disc through krusader and closed the web interface and I thought that the copying would continue in the server on its own. When i reopened unraid and restarted krusader the progress box was not there. Is it still copying in the background or did it stop? How can I tell? And if it did stop does that mean that I have to keep the computer and the web interface open during the whole copy? Thanks very much Jon

Thanks. Can I stop the erase midstream? and would that be ok to add to the array? Also as it is preclearing the word that I see is preread. Is that the same thing?

A few more questions. The other issue was solved. Thanks! When doing preclear I chose preclear and erase. 1) erase is taking a LONG time. Why would I want to erase? Can I stop it in the middle of the erase and will the drive be ok to add to the array? Next time what preclear setting do you recommend? Is preclear by itself good enough? Thanks! Jon

Frank , thanks for all the help! And I will move this thread to the general support.

Frank did you see the files though the google drive link or the attachments? when I was uploading the attachments there were some errors messages in the attachment process. I didn't know how to delete them. I should have mentioned that. I think the google drive link is more reliable as to what is actually on that flash drive.

should I scan it?

"we haven't found any errors on this drive. You can still scan the drive for errors if you want"

I don't know how to run the file systems check. I'm not at all tech saavy . is that something you can guide me through? here is a google drive link to the what was on the flash drive bzfirmware bzimage bzmodules changes.txt FSCK0000.REC FSCK0001.REC FSCK0002.REC FSCK0003.REC FSCK0004.REC license.txt make_bootable.bat make_bootable_linux make_bootable_mac memtest readvz

thanks Frank. attached. tower-diagnostics-20181117-1057.zip
