June 2, 200719 yr Author Boy I'm just setting the mark on the moron meter with this. Actually, Armageddon only has a few files missing/hidden. The files VTS_01_4.VOB - VTS_01_7.VOB do not show up, but the others do. Here is the command on one that doesn't shoiw any files in the VIDEO_TS folder: Tower1 login: root Linux 2.6.20. root@Tower1:~# cd /mnt/disk2/Barbershop root@Tower1:/mnt/disk2/Barbershop# v -R .: total 92 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 May 28 19:07 AUDIO_TS/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 368 May 28 19:22 VIDEO_TS/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 92224 May 28 19:22 VIDEO_TS.tbn* ./AUDIO_TS: total 0 ./VIDEO_TS: total 4211625 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6144 May 28 19:07 VIDEO_TS.BUP* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6144 May 28 19:07 VIDEO_TS.IFO* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 92224 May 28 19:07 VIDEO_TS.tbn* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 65536 May 28 19:07 VTS_01_0.BUP* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 65536 May 28 19:07 VTS_01_0.IFO* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1073739776 May 28 19:11 VTS_01_1.VOB* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1073739776 May 28 19:14 VTS_01_2.VOB* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1073739776 May 28 19:18 VTS_01_3.VOB* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1073739776 May 28 19:22 VTS_01_4.VOB* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13287424 May 28 19:22 VTS_01_5.VOB* root@Tower1:/mnt/disk2/Barbershop# I'm really sorry I've made this so difficult. I appreciate you seeing me through this. As for why I wanted to copy the files this way, I was under the impression that was the fastest way to copy the files. I thought that initiating the transfer from a third computer (especially using win explorer) caused slower transfers. Also, I didn't want to tie up any system resources on my desktop for the duration of the transfer. What is the best/quickest way to transfer files between servers? I have about 13 more drives (~3.5TB) of stuff yet to transfer.
June 2, 200719 yr Author FINALLY! I just tried WeeboTech's variation of JoeL's find command and it worked. I haven't had a chance to check every single folder yet, but everyone that I have checked now shows all the correct files. I was going to wait until Tom got back to me before trying that since I didn't want to possibly change things while he's trying to troubleshoot this for me. But when I noticed that the files in Armageddon that didn't show had an "x" in the attributes field while the ones showing didn't combined with people talking about something called an x bit... Well, I put two and two together. Some of my folder names had spaces and apostrophes so that's why it needed the extra flag that WeeboTech suggested. For future refernce, here is the command that worked: find /mnt/disk2 -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod -x A big thanks to everyone who helped with this. I am truly greatful!!! P.S. I'm still curious which way is the best for transferring files.
June 2, 200719 yr Under Windows, these files will show up as "hidden" and "system". A simpler way of setting the correct attributes would be: chmod -R 0700 /mnt/disk2/* As for copying the files - just use Windows explorer on the PC containing the source files.
June 2, 200719 yr The concept of using the console of the Unraid server, is very usefull when copying: Unraid1 to Unraid2 MSserver to Unraid NAS to Unraid Workstation used by others to Unraid. /Rene
