I'm using Midnight Commander to merge some directories within drives and I'm having the exact same problem that was listed and solved at their website here:

 

https://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/2276

 

I'll just copy his message since it's what is presently happening to me:

1) Left panel /home/ - has directory aaa1 with some files

2) Right panel /u00/ - also has directory aaa1 with some files

3) Try to copy(F5) directory aaa1 from Left panel to Right

4) Result - /u00/aaa1/aaa1 instead of updated content of /u00/aaa1

 

 

It's moving the directories one level deeper rather than just doing a true merge.  If the directory on the right panel (aaa1) does not exist, then it will move the directories/files just fine into /u00/aaa1, but if aaa1 already exists, it will move the files into /u00/aaa1/aaa1

 

I tried to figure out what version of MC comes w/Unraid v4.7, but I couldn't seem to locate it.

 

Anyone else have this issue?

two years later and I'm still having this issue, hmmmm, am I alone with this?  Presently I just transfer w/MC and then let Windows Merge them as it does a great job.

I have never had this issue and have used MC to numerous moves between disks. However, I don't tend to copy/move aaa1. I go into the directory, mark each folder and then move them (while also already being in aaa1 folder in destination).

 

I've never had an issue this way.

as above, might have a play when the server not tied up. Transferring around 2.5tb atm and don't wanna throw a spanner in the works, you could just rip it off in a shell. So what you mean is this https://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/2745 , have you updated mc? unraid 5 highest release is using mc-4.7.5.2 which is like 2011 going by slackware its built on ( mc --version shows squat), try sticking mc-4.8.10-i486-2.txz on http://pkgs.org/download/mc and see if it solves it if your using unraid 5 32bit i have no idea  where 6 stands.
