August 25, 20214 yr Hi I have mounted a external HDD to my unraid. I used MC (Midnight Commander) to copy between shares. When I copy/move a file which is 27GB, does not allow me. How do I fix this?

You gave us absolutely nothing to determine why you are getting the message, so I can't really be more helpful. Tools, diagnostics, attach the zip file to your next post in this thread, also the full source and destination folder paths.

September 3, 20214 yr Author Thanks. Changing to NTFS works. Is there a way to speed up the copying time? I have a single ISO file which is 50GB, the estimated time is 4 hours.
September 3, 20214 yr Community Expert The time is probably determined by the speed of the connection of the drive. If possible use USB3 instead of USB2 as that is much faster.
September 3, 20214 yr Community Expert What type of drive is this-- HD, SSD, Flash, Memory Card? (Time seems slow even for USB2...)
September 3, 20214 yr Solution It would probably be faster to attach the drive to the windows machine and copy to it across the network.
