February 19, 201016 yr Hello everyone. Thanks in advance for the super help. You guys have always come through before! Thanks! Anyhow, after successfully getting a mega unraid server going for a friend of mine, I copied all of my data onto his 16 disk unraid server. Now I would like to copy some of that back onto my fresh new 4 disk server. What is the best way to do that? drag and drop from a windows machine? I would imagine there is a faster, more efficient way to do this... thanks guys.

February 19, 201016 yr See here in the wiki: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Transferring_Files_from_a_Network_Share_to_unRAID Since that is just copying from the network share to unRAID, wouldn't that be just as slow as performing a drag and drop from a windows workstation? I am about to do the same thing and this is going to take forever through the network... so I would love to have a better way. Maybe I will be better off just starting with my original disks and upgrading one disk at a time... but copying all of the files would be advantageous in that it would defragment the new drives.
February 19, 201016 yr Author I started using the rsync method indicated in the post you linked Joe, but it was only transfering at a little over 1mbps... that seems oddly slow.. Both servers are connected to the same gigabit switch.. would the cp command go faster?
February 19, 201016 yr It does seem slow, but since you did not post a syslog, and the output of ifconfig eth0 and ethtool eth0 from BOTH unRAID servers, I have no way of knowing what is happening. It could be anything from a bad cable to a bad router to a bad disk on either server to something else in the configuration of SAMBA when connected to a Linux server. Joe L.

February 19, 201016 yr Author also, for what its worth, I can drag and drop from a windows box at about 10mbps... still seems slower than it should be though.. The destination server does not have a parity drive installed.

February 19, 201016 yr Author excelent, thank you.. I take it you paste " sed -i -e "s/host msdfs = Yes/host msdfs = No/" -e "s/msdfs root = Yes/msdfs root = No/" /etc/samba/smb.conf smbcontrol smbd reload-config " into the go files of both servers, restart both, and have a happy day? is this in any way detrimental to copying to/from a windows box as well? I need to know if I should be removing this line when I am done.
