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,

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.

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!
