I set up a shared folder on my open media vault server. I'm transferring 500gb of data from my backup hard drive, to this shared folder from my desktop. The files are being transferred, and I waited overnight for it to finish. But it got hung up on one specific file. I got rid of it, and started the process again. It got hung up on a second file. It turns out both of these files were symbolic links.
The symbolic links were created using some program called Easy Duplicate Finder. Some files were in two places for organization reasons. So I had Easy Duplicate Finder replace those duplicates with symbolic links.
How do I either:
- Make the shared folder accept symbolic links?
- Replace the symbolic links with.. something else that will transfer properly?
Details
I can see the shared folder and its contents from both computers on my home network (both are running on windows 10).
The shared folder is set to let anyone, even guests have read/write permission.
The shared folder is on an 8tb hard drive, so it has plenty of space. The filesystem on the hard drive is ext4. My server is running OMV version 6.
These are the settings I have at the moment
