moving data. ARGH


Recommended Posts

So i moved all my data to bigger drives to reduce the number of drives I had (which took 4 days)

 

Unknown to me i copied them in a really bad way and now my harddrives look like:

 

/mnt/disk1/

   ->Data

   ->mnt/disk2/Data

   ->mnt/disk3/Data

 

So basically i need to merge the Data folders on the root of the disk. The problem is move will not merge the folders...... is there a fast way to do this like in windows without using rsync to recopy ALL of the data again.....

 

Is --link-dest=DIR safe?
