Moving content on to and in OMV

Ok, this is tempting. Seeing that the new box will have three 2TB drive in it to start, (I'll call it the "new array"), that should give me 3.4TB of actual space, so if I off load the data that I have on it over this, (seeing that the old OMV current has four 2TB drives in it), I can pop them into the new OMV, seeing that it has an 8 bay SATA enclosure in it. I can then mount the four drives as the original RAID 5 "old array" and copy the data to the "new array". I can then nuke the "old array" and grow the "new array" to include the four drives from the old OMV. Then I can load back the excess and Bob is my new uncle.
Seeing that the Old OMV box have 1200 movies and 140 TV series on it, I don't have enough excess hard drives to off load everything to free up the four drives currently in it.

Have I understood this all correctly or am I about to cause myself a whole lot of hurt? :o

Yeah, but I hope it would be quicker than either doing it by SneakerNet and a External USB HDD or moving it over by FTP through another PC. Hopefully.

For S**ts and Giggles, I popped three 500GB drives in the new OMV and I am copying some of the movies over to test how well Plex will work on it. I am using MuCommander to go straight from one box to the other, using my WHS as the midpoint and I'm only getting 5MBps. All three boxes are using Gb Ethernet, CAT6 cabling and Cisco Catalyst switches between them. Is this the best to expect? Would it be faster to have a FTP client running on one of the OMV boxes to copy straight from one to another?

Ah, I was connected by SFTP. Now I'm having a B*tch of a time getting FTP working right on the new box.

I posted it over at http://forums.openmediavault.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=2748

:cry:
If I had a shotgun, this box would be toast!!!!!! :twisted:

Ok, it's 2 am and I've been at this for over 16 hours. I have re-installed OMV on a new drive to give me a fresh start and reconfigured everything and the only way I can see my shares over FTP, is to use SFTP and log in as root. (Still the same as the details in the above link.) Time for sleep and maybe I'll dream about the what I'm doing wrong.
