Data transfer between 2 external hdd's (usb)

I think you could use Midnight Commander in the shell to do this and the copy would be disk to disk.

See if you can get it installed and give it a try.

And mabye use the - screen command in terminal then the file copy dont stop if you close terminal - you can read about - screen command on Google

Why do you need to change mount point? Just copy from the mount point you use now?

Zitat von Larkin

I tried the MC approach. That would actually work, but the funny thing is the last two hdds i mounted in omv weren't mounted to media/. Instead they are mounted to srv/. Is this the new way to do it? Can i somehow change the mount point in omv?

/srv is now being used by OMV instead of /media as the mount point for hard drives beginning in OMV 3.x at some point in its evolution. But you can revert/fix this such that all newly added disks will wind up in /media instead.

To do this change the following environment variable in the file /etc/default/openmediavault

OMV_MOUNT_DIR="/media"

It's also possible to move existing drives from /srv to /media but it can be complicated if you have shares already defined and/or services that reference the old mount point of /srv. I know the process involves some heavy editing of the config.xml file as a minimum - other service related files might need fixups too, but I can't point to the specifics. Be careful if you edit that file and make sure you have a good backup copy before making any changes. I suggest asking for help with this beforehand and get it from someone who knows exactly what they are doing.

I can not see a good point to change mount point but nevermind
