Mount existing NTFS (Microsoft Storage Systems) drive without wiping it

  • Hello! I'm on day two of using my new OMV build and I've got most of it configured but I still have one huge issue. I have two empty/new drives mounted and ready to go. However, I have a partially full 3TB drive from my windows server build which is NTFS. I want to move the data from this drive to my freshly mounted 3TB drive so that I can then wipe/format this drive and make it parity in snapraid.


    When I run fdisk -l it does show up (as well as in the physical disks area of OMV web interface). However, in file systems it doesn't show there. I can hit 'create' and see it in the devices list but this would wipe it.


    How can I mount the existing drive with data so that I can use midnight commander to move the movies off of it and onto the other drive?
