bombz Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Hello, I am attempting to copy a disk in my array to a UD disk using the following command # screen # cp -rpv /mnt/disk8/* /mnt/disks/disk8 during the copy i receive many errors on files: cp: error writing '/mnt/disks/disk8/ ....... No space left on device The destination disk (NTFS) is empty (3TB) free Disk 8 space used = 2.4TB (XFS) The files copy but at 0KB to the destination. Any ideas of a better method to copy data? Thanks, Edited July 5, 2020 by bombz Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Are you sure you have the correct name for the mount point of the UD disk? (‘disk8’ is an unusual name). If you have got it wrong then that command will end up writing to RAM instead of the disk. Quote Link to comment
bombz Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 Hello, Thanks for your prompt response. I reformatted the 3TB NTFS (UD disk) via windows again for the fun of it. Restarted the copy, and all is well. Sorry to waste time on this. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
