sse450 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 As I wanted to remove disk3 from the array, I tried to move a folder with 35.000 files (recursively) from disk3 to disk4. Used mv /mnt/disk3/thefolder /mnt/disk4/ However, it stopped somewhere in the middle after copying some 16.000 files. Nothing is deleted from the source folder. Then, I did cp -r -p -n /mnt/disk3/thefolder /mnt/disk4/ Can I now safely delete "thefolder" using the following command? rm -rf /mnt/disk3/thefolder Thanks. Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Why bother? It's going away when you remove the drive anyway. Quote Link to comment
