I'm sure it's me. My first attempt at moving content to my array from an attached drive (4tb Barracuda in a USB enclosure) was a fail. Plugged it in, it was detected in unassigned devices, mounted it, located it in file manager, checked the ~3tb of content I wanted to move, hit "copy", poked around for my "share", found it under "cache" when I expanded it and hit the button to execute.

 

ONE file showed up in Windows file explorer, verified by JRiver. HOWEVER, file manager dutifully listed each file and counted down the ~4 hours it took to "copy" the selected files.

 

I had previously set the min free space on the cache to 100GB on advice from a thread on this forum. Another note, when I drilled down on "cache" in file managr, I selected the folder I want the files to be in.

 

What did I do wrong?

 

Thanks,

Jeff

 

 

I have tried this three times with only fails. I have removed the cache drive and copied the files to the share found un "users." No joy. Previous fails were copying them to the share drive found under cache. These fails produced the copying of only ONE movie. Every time though the copy process lists every file as it "copies" and dutifully counts the remaining time aand the percentage complete.

Never heard of this behaviour before.  
 

You are likely to get better informed feedback if you attach your system’s diagnostics (with everything in the one zip file) to your next post in this thread taken after this problem has occurred.   It is always a good idea when asking questions to supply your diagnostics so we can see details of your system, how you have things configured, and the current syslog.

Thanks, I will do that *if* it re-occurrs. I changed a few more settings, mainly my cache is offline, and tried to copy five TV series' seasons. Currently that is underway and is working. I did notice that all of the folders appeared quickly after I hit the go button. Now the files are being moved.
