I have added an internal SATA drive to my Unraid box and need to transfer data from it to the array before I clear it and add it as a drive. 

 

I used SNAP to mount the internal drive and gave it a sharename.  It is an HFS+ filesystem. 

 

My question is, now that I have mounted the drive using SNAP, how do I actually transfer the data from it to the array?  What commands do I use?

 

Any help is appreciated.

You can directly access the shares from your SNAP partition the same way you would any other array partition.

 

For example, if your SNAP partition is mounted as

3098FHK87=testshare

 

on your snap.list file, then simply open a explorer window and typing

 

"\\tower\testshare\" (without quotes)

 

would open up the share that you just mounted. You can then work with it as if it were any other drive/folder in your local computer.

 

This advice is for Windows.

 

 

HOW TO DO THIS IN LINUX (see below)

If you are planning on doing this on Linux, then you would have to use the "mv" command.

 

Array-based shares can be found in "/mnt/user/movies" (where "movies" is the array-based share name)

SNAP-based shares can be found in "/mnt/disk/testshare" (where "testshare" is the SNAP-based share name)

 

Then you would use the "mv" command to copy files between them. So, for example to copy all files from your SNAP share to your array's movie share, you would:

 

mv /mnt/disk/testshare/*.* /mnt/user/movies/

 

Hope that helps!
