July 18, 201213 yr Can you do this with NTFS formatted hdd's ? Sure you can. Just load one of the NTFS plugins in unMenu and then mount the drive using that driver. mkdir /mnt/usbhdd mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdX1 /mnt/usbhdd rsync --ignore-existing --progress --stats -r -v -p -t -o -g /mnt/usbhdd/ /mnt/user/[sHARE NAME] sync umount /mnt/usbhdd Alternatively you could also install SNAP and mount it using a gui.
July 21, 201213 yr Author That's about right for a network transfer. If that's still not fast enough, you could just pull the drive(s) out of the Windows box, mount them temporarily on your unRAID box, and then transfer them over the local SATA bus. That will get you the fastest speeds, probably in the 70 - 80 Mb/s range. I've unassinged the parity disk for now, and copying directly to the disk share in stead of the user share, that way i get speeds up to 70MB/s Once everything is transferred, i'll assign the parity disk again and do a total parity build up. Work in progress, filling the server... still some 6TB left to do.
July 23, 201213 yr Author FYI, overview of power usage of this 20TB unRAID server, populated with 6 Hitachi 7200rpm 4TB disks: S3 sleep2W spinned down (idle)35W 1 disk (streaming video)44W copying file to protected array51W 100% spinned up but idle72W doing parity sync/check82W (complete parity check took 12 hours at an average of 90MB/s)
