February 15, 201016 yr I am not familiar with Midnight Commander and for sure not under Unraid. I am assuming we can launch MC from the console - logged in as root. 1. Is it ok to use MC to move data between drives in Unraid? 2. Do you need to do a parity sync after moving files? 3. Any gotcha's? or watch out for's?
February 15, 201016 yr I am not familiar with Midnight Commander and for sure not under Unraid. I am assuming we can launch MC from the console - logged in as root. Yes. mc in small caps. 1. Is it ok to use MC to move data between drives in Unraid? Yes. In fact, that's the preferred way of doing it. (as opposed to using windows explorer for that) http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Transferring_Files_Within_the_unRAID_Server 2. Do you need to do a parity sync after moving files? No. unRAID updates parity on the fly. http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ#How_does_parity_work.3F 3. Any gotcha's? or watch out for's? Not really.

If you use "putty" as your telnet client on your PC, you will be able to use your mouse in conjunction with "mc" Joe L.
February 15, 201016 yr If you use "putty" as your telnet client on your PC, you will be able to use your mouse in conjunction with "mc" Just one more addition to this... If you'll be using "putty" to telnet into your server (as opposed to using the server console), then you may want to run `mc` on top of screen. That way you can disconnect(reconnect) from the screen. Without screen, the moment something interrupts your telnet sesson, your whole transfer gets interrupted. See: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2817.msg24827#msg24827
February 15, 201016 yr Author I am a Linux noob - know enough to be dangerous. Have MC running and copying files via Putty telnet. But was wondering what this meant: "`mc` on top of screen"? BTW any recommendations on a good website or **gasp** a book on learning Linux? Thanks again guys.
