Hi,

 

I have a unraid server running, and I just added a previously used drive from some other system, which looks like it cleared fine and was added to the array and then formatted and now the parity looks valid overall.

 

I want to move some data from my other drives inside unraid to this drive within same unraid. I would hate to use windows explorer due to speed issues.

 

Can I just telnet into unraid and then:        cp /mnt/disk1/<whatever> /mnt/disk6/.

Assuming disk6 was the recently added disk. Will this keep my parity calculation be in sync and valid overall?

and then:  rm -rf /mnt/disk1/<whatever>

 

Or I can just telnet into unraid and then:    mv /mnt/disk1/<whatever> /mnt/disk6/.

and still parity will be valid, overall?

 

If both works, any pros and cons of using one over another?

 

Thanks.

Either will work.  Parity will be calculated as you move or copy the files.

Thanks a lot.

isn't there a format to the command to make it execute as a background task so the telnet session is locked up until complete? Even between disks, 10s or 100s of GB takes a long time.

I think you mean "isn't locked up until complete"

 

Add an "&" to the end of the line; i.e.

 

cp /mnt/disk1/<whatever> /mnt/disk6/ &
