Import data disk?

drew_p13 · 15. Dezember 2017

Hi all,

So I finally set up my ZFS pool and SMB share, and am able to access it from my computer. Now I need to put all of my data onto the server, which I have on a SATA hard drive. Is there any way to import this disk by plugging it straight into the server itself and transferring the data, or do I have to do this through computers connected to the server?

Yes, you can mount the disk by the WebUi. The disk is then mounted under /srv.
Personally I have used Midnight commander for such a copy job.
Installation: CLI> apt-get install mc
Start with:CLI> mc

The files are then copied under the same owner which you used to log in to the console. So maybe it is necessary to modify it afterwards.

Thanks so much, that's exactly what I was looking for.
