March 8, 201511 yr Somehow I created 2 different backup shares Backup, and backup These shares are acting werid on unraid, if I change one's permission it changes it for both, and they both contain different subfolders when I use the view button in the unraid gui. I would like to merge them into a single backup folder (all lower case) and delete the Backup folder. So far I have tried running cp -r /mnt/use/Backup . While in the backup folder to merge them but that doesn't seem to be working. Whats the best way to merge these folders without data loss?
March 8, 201511 yr Have you tried using MC ? That way you can browse to the correct dirs without worrying about the naming conventions.
March 8, 201511 yr Author I forgot to mention, I'm trying to fix this from a windows pc, my unraid box is my only linux install, is there anything I can install on windows to help?
March 8, 201511 yr Telnet into your server and use Midnight Commander (MC) or if you want to do it from your pc, use Terracopy. Midnight commander is the better choice I feel. MC leaves the files on the disk and just moves the pointers. Terracopy will have to read the file off to your PC and write it to the new directory.
March 8, 201511 yr also.. MC feels a bit like windows.. telnet <ipnumber> root <password> navigate to /mnt/user, there you will find your user shares.
