t3chie Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I have setup an Unraid server and mounted a ZFS pool of the old installation. Now I want to copy data from the old disks to the new UNRAID pool. I have seen a defects report which is saying you should not copy data around within the unraid pool from one disk to the other in a shell. So I am wonder what the best recommended way is to move data from an unassigned device to the unraid pool? Are there any more Do's/Don'ts while working on inside the shell? Should I use /mnt/user0 , /mnt/user or /mnt/diskX as target for the copy? If that matters, I want to use rsync for the copy. Does unraid transparently handle copying data which would exceed one target disk in size, i.e. copy 5TB data onto a pool consisting of 2 x 3T drives plus parity? Quote Link to comment

t3chie Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) Any recommendation on the other questions? Especially what I should use as the destination of the rsync: /mnt/user0 /mnt/user /mnt/diskX Edited April 16, 2021 by t3chie Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 If you want to copy to share use /mnt/user/Share_name/ if you want to copy to a disk use /mnt/diskX/ Quote Link to comment
