No need to install anything to use it. i saw it in the unmenu package manager so i assumed it was not on the earlier versions Never used the 4 series... i started with 4.6 to see how unraid worked and since the 5 beta2 was out i also tested that one and i like the gui better so i stuck with it anyway thx for the correction ...
February 2, 201115 yr If the share files are on the same physical disk as the target files, move them using the physical disk. The file will be instantly "moved" (renamed into the other directory). If you move using the share, it will copy the entire file.
February 5, 201115 yr I have two big shares that use all disks. I have mapped each disk now and I want to move files from one disk to another. If I do that will will have files of the same name. Do I do a right click cut and then paste or just do a drag and drop and delete the original?
February 5, 201115 yr Are you moving from one disk to another, or from one share to another? Based on your earlier post I think you are asking about moving a file between shares, but doing the operation with the physical disk. It is easy. Just open the disk share (you may have to enable the disk shares if you had disabled them). Find the file or directory you want to move on the disk share Right click on it and select cut. Then navigate to the place you want the file or directory to be moved to (still using the same disk share). Right click and select paste. You could also use drag and drop. Be careful to move and not copy. Afterwards, you should notice that the files no longer show up under the old user share, but do show up under the new one.
February 5, 201115 yr I want to move a file from a share folder that's on one physical disk to the same share folder but on another physical disk.
February 5, 201115 yr I want to move a file from a share folder that's on one physical disk to the same share folder but on another physical disk. I don't understand why, but here's how. There are a few different options: 1 - Use Windows. Cut and paste the file in much the same way as I described above. It will take a while, depending on the file size, so if you are moving ginormous files you might not like this option as you won't be able to power down or reboot your workstation until the move finishes. 2 - Use Linux. You can issue a command line "mv" command similar to the following: nohup mv "/mnt/disk1/share1/my favorite movie.iso" "/mnt/disk2/share1/" >/dev/null 2>&1 & This will move the file "my favorite movie.iso" from disk1 to disk2 and keep it in the same share. The "nohup" will run the command in the background so you don't need to keep the telnet window open. Running ... ps -ef|grep mv from a telnet will let you know if the mv has completed.
