I'm in the process of copying data from mounted NTFS drives (one at a time) to my new unRAID server, and I want to make sure I'm not going to run into problems once I start copying my BR rips.

 

I plan to mount the drives containing my BR rips and copy the data to my Media share. Some of my drives are larger than the smallest drives in my array, and I would like to make sure that unRAID will change destination disks mid-copy. For example, if I have a 1.5 TB disk mounted that's full of BR rips in my "HD Movie" folder, and I use rsync to copy the files in that folder to the same share folder ("HD Movies") on my unRAID server, will unRAID recognize that the first disk in my unRAID server is reaching capacity and spin up the next disk mid-copy. Or, do I need to split the copy command into several steps?

 

Just to clarify, I'd like to use the following command to migrate all of my data from a mounted disk

 

rsync -av /mnt/imported_files/Media/Movies/HD_Movies/ /mnt/user/Media/Movies/HD_Movies/

 

Will unRAID handle this if the source disk is larger than a single destination disk in my array?

If the "min free space" is set correctly it will work. Make sure owner groups and permissions are set correctly as well. UnRAID will not split a file across disks. Each file resides on a single disk.

Thanks! I just wanted to double check.
