I am use to windows file system, if I wanted to move files from 1 directory to another on the same drive it was almost instantaneous, windows basically changed the name to the file for file location and that was it.  Unraid it seems needs to rewrite all information when changing files from 1 directory to the next within the same drive.  I am moving a bit over 5TB using Krusader is their another file manager I should be using for this operation?

 

Thanks

You can use Windows explorer to move the files instantly, assuming they are win the same share.

I will have to do some research and set this up, but why is this instantaneous working from a windows environment as compared to moving files with Krusader or rsync.  I am doing the same function but with a different tool? 

 

Here is my rsync terminal command  rsync -avh "/mnt/user/Download/Movies/" "/mnt/user/Movies".  I am moving files from same drive, same directory just taking files down 1 directory file level and rsync and krusader want to do a cut and paste operation.  Just makes me think I am doing something simple wrong.

 

Thanks for the input

AFAIK rsync will always copy the files, never move them, you can use mv instead.
