Wait a second...  Can I use Midnight Commander to move files from one UnRaid to another UnRaid?

 

That would be amazing!

If you mount the shares you can no problems

General instructions on how to mount shares seem to be here:  http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=19503.0

 

I found I first had to create a new account on both systems - with the same password (when I used the "root" account, I got a permission denied (13) error).

 

Created a new account called "filemove" on both systems, then from Tower1, I ran TelNet and entered:

 

mkdir /mnt/tower2_tv

 

Then I entered:

 

mount -t cifs -o sec=ntlm,user=filemove,password=mypassword //tower2/tv /mnt/tower2_tv

 

Hope this helps someone.

Can someone help explain - how do I "Mount the Shares" on one Unraid machine onto my other Unraid machine?

 

Thanks,

Easiest way is to use the unassigned devices plugin.  Just add an SMB share with the plugin with the appropriate credentials.

I just want to add that with the direct rsync method and a unRAID v6.2 (b20) setup without a parity disk I get write speeds of up to 95 MB/s from another unRAID server. So this is really sweet if you're migrating or backing up a unRAID server to another one. Adding parity will probably have an impact on the write speeds, but with the new Turbo Write option this maybe minimal.

Fantastic that this thread is still alive. Using it again and I forgot how I did this

 

Thanks to the update by @wolferI99

 

Haha no kidding.

 

I started reading the thread, all happy that I found it, ready to try it out. Then on page 3, boom, I saw a comment by me, I guess I had already done this several years ago lol.

 

Which vitamins do I take for long term memory again?
