Running 5.0-rc3 for a  couple of weeks, still copying data to my shares from a Windows computer.  I accidently moved a directory of videos (with subdirectories) to the wrong share and am attempting to move those files to another share via Windows.  These are all videos ranging from 300mb to 3gb.  If I cut/paste the entire directory, I will receive an error "There is a problem accessing <target directory>" after it finishes moving a file or two.  Selecting "Try Again" has no effect, and selecting "Skip" will continue the move but leave the source file in the source directory along with a copy in the target directory.  I know it is more efficient to move between shares via console but it is inconvenient. 

 

I am running the Basic version with 3 1TB Drives, 1 as parity. 

 

Both source and target shares are setup High Water and Split Level 2 with plenty of free space.

 

Any ideas?

I'm not sure what's going on, but it sounds like a permissions issue. In general it's inefficient to move stuff within your unRAID server from another machine. Try using Putty (or another telnet/SSH client), and then use the command "mc" for Midnight Commander.

I would try to solved that from a telnet connection on the unRaid Server and the simple mv and mkdir commands.

That would be the fastes solution.

 

Simple problem here is that you would need to execute the chown command after you have moved the files, because when you copy them in the shell they likely would get user:group both root, or you use the new permissions script from the WebIf.
