October 7, 200916 yr So yeah... I just got a bulk shipment of master HDV video footage that I want to store on my unRAID array for protection. What is the best way to copy this much data over to the array? I remember a few years back that you could turn off the parity drive and this would allow for much faster speeds. Once completed you would enable the parity drive and it would begin rebuilding parity. Is that correct? Is there anything that I'm missing? FYI - No cache disk for me...
October 7, 200916 yr The best way would be mounting it locally (not transfer over network). Wiki can help you with this.

October 7, 200916 yr I don't see how this is really a problem (just some extra manual work). Anyway, over the network yes you are correct, you can disable parity and then rebuild it. I wouldn't recommend this though. In any case make sure you copy to a disk share and not to a user share. Things are much slower using user shares.

I took your advice and was going to do mount the drive. Glad that I started a parity check before I did anything as I just found an error in my system log that seems to be related to my flash drive!
