December 11, 20214 yr Hello everyone, I got about 12TB of data to move from an old server to unraid. I'm currently doing it over 1gbit network and it's taking forever. Thus, I was wondering, can I hookup the old hdd to unraid, mount them (ntfs format) and do a local copy with midnight commander? If yes, if I copy it to /mnt/user/share, will it use the share allocation method I specified like if I was doing it through samba share? Thank you Edited December 11, 20214 yr by Nodiaque
December 12, 20214 yr Author I tried following https://wiki.unraid.net/Mounting_an_external_USB_drive_having_an_existing_NTFS_file_system_in_READ/WRITE_mode_to_transport_files_from/to_unRaid_server as a guide to mount ntfs partition. Downloaded the latest version of ntfs-3g from slackware-current and installed it. But when I mount, there's nothing. The mount don't even show in df. What could be wrong?
December 12, 20214 yr Author ok, I found a plugin called unassigned devices that was able to mount the drive. Thanks!
December 12, 20214 yr Community Expert That old wiki entry is maybe useful to people still running very old versions of Unraid. Unassigned Devices is probably the 2nd most popular plugin, after Community Applications. You might find some of the scripts mentioned in its support thread useful.
