July 24, 201411 yr I am having an issue copying a large (slightly over 10GB) file to my unraid box. It says there needs to be 1.5GB free'd up but there is just over 2TB free on the drive that I am currently using. Any ideas?
July 24, 201411 yr What are you copying from? Post a picture of the Web GUI display; and also of the share settings for the share you're attempting to copy to.
July 24, 201411 yr Author This is the share. Im copying from the console of a win 7 VM to the unraid box.
July 24, 201411 yr Post the Web GUI of your UnRAID server ... I assume it will indeed show plenty of free space, but just to be sure .... Also, how is networking set up for your VM? (Bridged, NAT, etc.)
July 24, 201411 yr Author Added. Everything is on the same network if that is what you mean? I copy and swap files regularly. My iso's live on the unraid box as well. I copied the file from the unraid box to this vm. I just wanted to test the speed of copying the file back to the unraid box.
July 24, 201411 yr Everything is on the same network if that is what you mean? I copy and swap files regularly. My iso's live on the unraid box as well. No, I mean how is the VM configured to handle the virtual network adapter? With VMware (which I assume you're using) you have several choices. If you're using a different hypervisor, note which one. I copied the file from the unraid box to this vm. I just wanted to test the speed of copying the file back to the unraid box. Did you rename the file before attempting to copy it back?
July 24, 201411 yr Author I am using vmware - 5.5. Vm is windows 7. I haven't changed anything beyond whatever default settings are for the vm. The nic is the E1000. I made a new folder called test (inside of the media share) so, I'm not copying it back to the same directory. I did not change the name of the file.
July 24, 201411 yr In the Settings page for your VM look at the Network Adapter and see if it's Bridged, NAT, Host-only, or uses custom settings. Also, what is the host OS for the VM?
July 24, 201411 yr The nic is the E1000. I presume you mean the ROUTER is a Cisco/Linksys E1000. That's not a NIC

Unfortunately I do not understand what you're asking me for. I don't see this in any of the settings windows I can see. Does it matter though? Does one method cap out at 8.5GB? The guest OS is windows 7. The nic is the E1000. I presume you mean the ROUTER is a Cisco/Linksys E1000. That's not a NIC No, I mean the E1000 nic.
July 24, 201411 yr This is the share. Im copying from the console of a win 7 VM to the unraid box. I notice that you have the Fill-up method set for the share, and 0 for the min-free-space settings? This can mean that if there is ANY free space on the first drive that unRAID can start the copy to that drive, and then only when that space proves insufficient gives the error. The avoidance action is to set the min-free-space to the be at least as large as the largest file you are expecting to copy. You also should not encounter this issue if you copy directly to the target disk share rather than via the user share.
July 24, 201411 yr Author @ Gary - I looked around a little more but still don't see anything that indicates what you're asking for. @ Itimpi - I put 20000000 in but that did not help. I renamed the file and was able to copy it into \Movies. Seems like I can't copy it into \Movies\Test. Derp for not figuring that out earlier.. EDIT: I can however copyfiles under 8.5GB into \Movies\Test. odd..

Derp for not figuring that out earlier.. EDIT: I can however copyfiles under 8.5GB into \Movies\Test. odd.. I have a feeling that if you do not add a size type specifier at the end the min-free-space value defaults to bytes - so 20000000 is only 20MB. EDIT: Looking at the User Guide it looks as though the default allocation is KB so that size should be enough.
July 24, 201411 yr You shouldn't need any minimum space setting -- that only limits copies if there's less than the specified amount available, and clearly with 2TB free on one of your drives and 3 TB on the other that's not an issue. The virtual NIC shouldn't be an issue, so don't worry about that question. What I was checking for was whether you might be using host settings on a host that had an issue with > 2TB drives, but that's not the problem. Does the file copy okay if you copy it directly to the disk shares? [i.e. do NOT use the user share -- copy it directly to \\Tower\disk1\<folder of your choice> ... and also try \\Tower\disk2\<folder of your choice>
July 24, 201411 yr Author I rebooted and it seems like there isn't an issue anymore. I made 5 other directories in \Movies and I was able to copy into all of them. Thanks gentleman
