Copy/move between shares is sloooooooooooow...
I have SSH'd into my 316 and am doing cp and mv's... trying to move a bunch of data from one share to another (/data/share1 to /data/share2). It's slow. Like, really slow (maybe 90 seconds per GB)...
Hey Stephen,
ReadyNas DUO V2
The first day I had it, I did a couple of intra-share copy/paste through Windows Explorer and it was instant, much like when doing it on a standard HDD/SSD.
However on the second day and furthering, it was treating it as a network transfer (speeds 20-30mb/s). Then earlier, I did an intra-transfer and it was instant.
Not sure what's going on. The only thing that varies is that the files I was moving myself were previously put there by me, via manually copying them from another drive(I didn't do a back up operation).
The video file that copied instantly, was put in the original folder by a P2P client and then I moved it myself afterwards.
Which raises the question, if the P2P client stores incomplete downloads in a separate share to the completed ones, what happens when it completes? I watched one and when it finished, it was moved instantly.
Why would that be any different? Does the P2P client have special low level folder permissions?
EDIT: Am doing it now. Moving completed downloads from one directory back to parent directory (intra-share) is instant. If I go over to a different parent folder in the SAME share and repeat the action (using different data of course), it's not instant.
