January 30, 201115 yr So I am in the process of advance formatting my old ears drives so I need to move my data to my newly adnvaned formatted ears 2tb disk. When I am copying the files, why is it going SO slowly. I am getting an average of 3 mbps, moreso on the lower end. I tried with windows, I am FTPing it, I also used the linux commands and it it still frightening slow. Do I have any other options?
January 30, 201115 yr Author I am guessing this is due to the parity? How can I disable the parity while I transfer the files over? Do I just remove the parity drive from the devices tab? So ya I remove the parity drive from the array and still slow transfer speeds. Would I be more suited using the default linux commands?

Not going over the LAN is fastest. NOT using user-shares is faster than using them. In other words, copy to /mnt/disk1/movies.... it will be faster than copying to /mnt/user/movies/... What "exact" command are you using? Have you posted a syslog? Just to check for anything that might be causing the slowness. Is your external drive a USB enclosure? or SATA? Joe L.

I am copying it to a drive within the array. I am trying to copy all of disk1 to disk2. What command should I be using? If I already copied some of the files over, what will happen? Will it overwrite those files or simply skip them? Is there a way(within telnet) to visually see what is going on? Joe L.
January 30, 201115 yr rsync -av --stats --progress /mnt/disk1/ /mnt/disk2/ This will copy (from disk1 to disk2) only what is missing or is incomplete and not touch what has already been copied. And you will see what is going on... Execute in a telnet window.

And you will see what is going on... Execute in a telnet window. I did this, but it is still copying some of the same files. It'll skip a few, that have been previously copied, but for some random ones, it copies it. Also, since I like how this command looks, is there a way I can transfer data over my lan. So say from 192.168.1.101(my lan ip)sharedocs/movies etc or w/e it is to disk1 or disk2? Or is my only option via Windows/My Network Places?

I'm going to be looking into this myself very shortly as I want to automatically move copies of my digital photos to my Unraid server. From a brief Google search, DeltaCopy seems to be a popular Windows port of Rsynch : http://www.aboutmyip.com/AboutMyXApp/DeltaCopy.jsp .
