February 27, 201115 yr I have a slightly different transfer question relating to the initial transfer of tons of data to a new UnRAID server. I understand that the initial transfer goes a lot faster without parity calculation, at the expense of potential data corruption which could potentially then be incorporated into parity, when calculated - as has been stressed in previous posts in this thread. If, however, you are able to mount the drives (with the data to be transferred) in the UnRAID box (but not added to the array), would rsync be the safest way to make sure the transfer is uncorrupted? It seems like rsync automatically does a crc check after transferring files, no? Or, is there a better option? That is what I would use in that situation. Are there any tricks to getting this up and running? The package was just updated on my server to the newest 3.0.4 (via unMenu package manager), do you have to do anything to initialize it? I've looked at a few threads about transferring data from one server to another, where the "new" server needs to have rsync installed and initialize the daemon. Does this also need to be done when using it transfer from two disks on the same server (one in the array [destination], and one not [source])? Also any syntactical pointers would be greatly appreciated by this CLI newbie. As always, thanks for everyone's help and patience.
