December 3, 201213 yr I started transferring media from old server to my new unraid build by enabling both screen and rsync in unraid. I than issued the following command in a terminal via screen rsync -avz -e ssh [email protected]:/mnt/public/raid/Media/Movies/ /mnt/user/Public/Media/Movies/ I started the above while waiting on my Pro.key. Now that I received it today, would stopping the array to add the key also stop the transfer? I'm not transferring via an actual smb share, so i'm unsure what would happen. I can wait till the transfer completes. Should be done by tomorrow AM I would think. Was just hoping to add in a couple more drives.
December 3, 201213 yr Stopping the array will stop the transfer. But rsync will resume where it left off if restarted.

Rsync does nothing automatically, but you can re-issue the command with a -P option to have it restart and not remove an already partially transferred file. On the other hand, an "rsync' in progress, with an open file will probably keep you from cleanly stopping the array until it completes since the disk it is writing to will not be able to be un-mounted.
