So when I first setup the unRaid server, I didn't think much about setting up multiple user shares. I wanted to keep it easy and have 1 large share.

 

However, now I've decided that I want seperate user shares (largely because I want the cache drive only for some user shares and not others).

 

I have about 4gigsTB worth of data under my main user share called "UR".

 

Can I create another user share, then telnet into the server and use "mv" to move between user shares ? The user share "UR" spans 4 disks and I don't really care where the files ultimately end up.

 

I also want to rename the user share "UR" to something else, like "Videos" or something, can I just change the name in the user share menu ? Will this affect my data ?

 

thanks

Yes to all. Changing the name will not effect data.

FYI, moving (moving, not copying) files between locations on the same disk is quick and painless over the network from a Windows machine.

I use Midnight Commander for moving files around within unRaid. Pretty easy. I "putty" in from my Win7 box and even get mouse support.
