Hello,

 

I'm new on the forum and this is my first post.

I've just a question to start :

 

I connected an USB 2.0 external hard drive (NTFS) to unraid server.

I 'd like to know how I can copy all data from this external hard drive directly to unraid please. (I mean without through network)

 

Is it possible?

 

Thanks a lot for your help

 

See the unRAID Wiki and specifically the Best of the Forums section.  There should be a topic in there that can get you started.

Thanks ! I've found it!

You can delete my post if u want.

 

C ya

I have to do the same thing.  Is this the post that you followed?

Many will use SNAP

 

 

OH MY GOD ! I used SNAP, I plugged my hard drive that have been detected.

I decided to click the button create RSreiser and it format my disk without avoiding me.

Oh noooo, I've lost everything ! I'm living a nightmare !!!

Why did you click the format button?

 

SNAP does not even have a format option, so you probably did this through unMenu.  You could have done the same format mistake without even using SNAP.

There are windows tools and programs to recover files from disks that have been formatted.

 

No tools can protect you from yourself.  Sorry about your loss. I hope you have backups.

When in doubt, don't push the format button.

 

Good luck on trying to recover the data.

Actually, I create a special partition under unMENU. I just try it because it was not any warning message.

Thing that can be done in a future upgrade...

Hoppefully, I can get my data back thanks to Recuva. It takes 2 days, but It's OK.

I've copied TBs of data to a an unRAID server from a USB drive connected to a Windows PC (using TeraCopy).  Takes a long time, but it gets the job done.

Thanks Scoho ! I'll try it.

 

Just one thing, my unRAID network card is gigabit (Core network as well)

But unRAID configure my network card at 10/100.

How can I switch it in gigabite please? It could improve my network transfert by 3..

 

Thanks

unRAID will configure itself to run at full gigabit speeds as long as your entire network is capable of those speeds.  Make sure you are using Cat5e or better cables and that your client computer(s), router, and/or switch are all capable of GigE.

OK, I'm going to buy a new cat 6 wire to try.

Hope it's gonna work.

I'm living a nightmare !!!

 

Apparently, yes really are. Pressing buttons when it appears you don't know what they will do.

 

Just use a PC for a USB drive if you don't know Linux. The USB connection will be the weak link so everything will go as fast direct connected or through the network.

Hello,

 

I've bought a cat6 RJ 45 wire this afternoon, but it doesn't work.

My network is still 10/100 althought my cards are all gigabit.

Any Idea beacuse i've 6 tb to transfer through network.

 

Thanks !

your switch or your router

No, it can't be that.

I connected 2 PC directly.

Cards are both gigabit.

Sorry, my fault !!

In France, it was specified lan gigabit when I bought it but in fact :

Just to be clear, I don't believe the ENTIRE network has to be gigabit speed.  I have a non-gigabit router, with an 8 port gigabit hub hooked into it.  Every device that is hooked into the gigabit hub (and is gigabit capable) will give me gigabit speeds.  I can still hook up non-gigabit devices to the router (or even the hub), but just those devices won't be gigabit.

You are correct.  My router is like yours, a non-gigabit router.  I do have two gigabyte switches, and all the gigabyte capable devices connect to them.

That's true, but that would have taken longer to explain

The link in the Wiki is dead.
