I have a 3tb drive that is full. Just a single drive no raid or anything. When I picked up my wd red drives they didn't make the 4tb.
So I picked up a 4tb and plan on moving everything to that for now. Then come tax time pick up a couple more and run raid.
I have it mounted and s share created on the 4tb drive. I was using windows and wanna copy everything from the 3 to 4 and its moving at 2MB/s There has to be a faster way. Hell transfering over wifi to my comp from the server goes at 4MB/s
Use rsync on the command. Find the mount point of each drive.
df -h will show you how space is left on each drive. That will let you figure out which drive is mounted where.
Then as root:
rsync -avr /media/uuid_old_drive/* /media/uuid_new_drive/
Do I have to install the rsync plugin?
EDIT its either already installed or Came with OMV i'll try and see what i can figure out. Thanks.
Figured it out. but every time I try to transfer between the 2 the server now reboots. Yay me. lol
That isn't good. You could use clonezilla to clone the drives. You just would need to leave the old drive unplugged until you wiped it.
it rebooted on me when using windows explorer to transfer as well. gonna have to look into it maybe the drive is bad.
Swapped Sata Cables and ports. Same rebooting issue. Any idea where to start? Do I reformat it? Both are mounted under /media and both are ext4 file systems I ran a SMART test but I don't know what I'm looking for to be honest.
seemed to have the rebooting fixed The ribbon cable from my ide hard drive (system drive) to the motherboard was pinched. and the one power connector wasn't fully seated. Who know's which casued the issue but all seems well now. Thanks for your help.
Is having an IDE system drive slowing it down at all?
Not obviously. As the OS shouldn't do that much multiple operations it shouldn't slow down that much.
So if you don't feel any downsides yourself, you're probably just fine to use it.
