May 24, 201610 yr Hello, need some help answering some file moving questions. Did a bunch of searching and researching, and Id like to get some concise answers: Moving files from one share to another, both shares on the same disks=? Good, bad, will the files redistribute themselves across the new shares disks, even if it includes disks the first share uses, original files located? Moving files from a disk to a share: not a problem if the disk isnt a part of the share, a big problem if you're copying from the share folder on that disk to the same share, since youre copying it to itself Moving files from a share to a disk: not a problem if the disk isnt a part of the share, is it a problem if it IS a part of the share? If you copy it to another folder within the drive, will it remove the files from the share, and just move the files on the disk, being an instantaneous transfer? I messed up a share during my initial transfer of files, so I wondering, If using Midnight Commander, can I take the files at the mnt/disk/share folder, copy it over to another folder on the same disk, thus removing the files from the share and keeping them locally on that disk and not taking forever? Conversely, can I take files that dont belong to a share, and plop them into a share folder that exists on the same drive, and not have any conflicts, as long as im moving disk to disk, folder to folder, not user/share?
May 24, 201610 yr Sounds like you have a grasp of the problem. If it were me, I'd stick strictly to disk to disk copies and moves.
May 25, 201610 yr Author Thanks! Im curious though, Im moving files from one folder to another, same drive, within the share folder on that drive. Instead of instantly transferring as it should, its like its actually transferring files from another disk, 25MB/s. Any idea why its doing that?

May 25, 201610 yr Author Right! It SHOULD have been! Yes I am using MC. I love it, since Im not a fan of moving files by CLI yet. Not sure why its taking so long. If for some reason it matters, Im moving files over by SSH from work. But that should have ZERO affect on the local disk operation.
May 27, 201610 yr @LukasFehrwight can you tell me how do you connect from work to home by ssh? Did you have to open a port and assign to unrai? Any port? Thankyou Gus
May 27, 201610 yr I thought I read somewhere that MC copies the files and only deletes after a successful copy? That would explain the slow speed, but I usually use CLI so I am not familiar with MC.

Thankyou Gus Gus, I assigned the SSH port to 443(Https) so my work couldnt block it, then port forwarded that through my router and firewall to my unraid machine.

I have no problem with blocked ports at work, is any port better than other? Thankyou Gus

The plugin will let you assign whatever port you want to SSH through the GUI. You can also do it via terminal if you want. After you set it on your UNRAID server, you can then port forward that through your firewall and router/modem.
