January 5, 20179 yr Author I have another question. I'm deleting movies and music going from 20TB down to 8TB (4 drives and 1 parity). Once I finish deleting the files, is there a way I can disable the parity drive so I can copy files from one drive to another? I want to do it as fast a possible. Then once I have all the files I need on the 4 drives, I would like to remove the remaining drives, then run a parity on the remaining data drives. What is the process for that?

Better idea would be to turn on Turbo Write.
January 5, 20179 yr Ok it is working. It turns a slight yellow color which is really hard to see so I ran a test and it did work. Yeah, it's not the most vibrant of colours is it..... Looks left at CHBMB's avatar, looks back. Yep, not vibrant at all. I have no idea what you're talking about.... Apparently you recently changed from glasses to contacts. Or are you just slightly sad? Winter doldrums perhaps? Or did the moody missus kick you out without a coat? Either way, digging the new look.
January 5, 20179 yr Author So can I just turn on Turbo Write at any time and turn it off? So once I am ready to copy, just turn it on and then once done turn it off? I also noticed 9 of my data drives are reiserfs and one is xfs. SHould I use this time to move data off, convert a drive to xfs, then move the data back on?

SHould I use this time to move data off, convert a drive to xfs, then move the data back on? Sounds good. Be sure to check out the last page or 2 of the sticky about converting, I think the advice has been cleaned up a bit.
January 5, 20179 yr Author While deleting some folders I got a message indicating the folder could not be deleted "read only file system (30)". I can see the permissions are "drwxrwxrwx". I have no idea where that came from. How do I get rid of the folder or change the permissions?

January 5, 20179 yr Author Here you go. The problem is with disk 9 tower-diagnostics-20170103-2217.zip
January 5, 20179 yr Author Ok ran a check 3 found corruptions can be fixed when running with --fix-fixable I can fix that but what's odd is I was able to copy the files I couldn't delete to another drive no problem.
January 5, 20179 yr Author Are we sure it's file corruption? What's funny is I can play the movie no problem and copy it. I tried to delete a few other items and I'm thinking I can't delete anything from the drive. Could there be another setting somewhere?
January 5, 20179 yr Community Expert When the filesystem corruption was detected the disk was remounted readonly. The corruption may not have affected those files but since it was readonly you couldn't delete.
January 5, 20179 yr Author Ok finished, received the following finished No corruptions found There are on the filesystem: Leaves 398527 Internal nodes 2421 Directories 926 Other files 1380 Data block pointers 403070586 (0 of them are zero) Safe links 0 ########### reiserfsck finished at Wed Jan 4 14:20:41 2017 ########### bad_indirect_item: block 304257248: The item (1191 1198 0xf782b001 IND (1), len 4048, location 48 entry count 0, fsck need 0, format new) has the bad pointer (28) to the block (304257197), which is in tree already - zeroed vpf-10630: The on-disk and the correct bitmaps differs. Will be fixed later. vpf-10680: The file [1191 1198] has the wrong block count in the StatData (62240208) - corrected to (62240200) I'm guessing I should now be able to start in normal mode and delete the files.
January 8, 20179 yr Author So I have the Turbo Write on and copying files from one disk to another via MC and I'm getting a speed of 35MBps. Seems slow. I wonder if it's my MB/CPU combo? With my older mATX MB and Dual Core CPU I think I recall getting somewhere around 75MBps. I switched to be more energy efficient. Asrock C2550D41 Motherboard Intel Atom C2550 @ 2.4GHz CPU

Asrock C2550D41 Motherboard Intel Atom C2550 @ 2.4GHz CPU Since you are currently on another thread talking about unassigning a disk, have you already unassigned one of the disks? If so then it is obviously going to be slower since reading/writing an emulated disk is going to be slower.
