How to move Data from Share1 to Share2
Hi,
how to move Data on RN104 from one Folder/share to another ?
I want to MOVE not Copy and delete. Move on PC on same Partition in very fast because Data is not really move only description updatet.
How to do that on RN104 ? I have a 4x2TB Raid5 and want to MOVE 100 Files from Musik to Videos ...
Move from a Laptop wants to copy and delete an this runs with 4Mbyte/second.... grrr...
App Ajaxplorer will not run, PHP will not istall.... hmmmm.... was RN104 a wrong decision ?
Has the RN104 his own Fileexplorer ?? Than i could move Data with Webinterface ??!!

- Each share is it's own BTRFS subvolume, so any move between shares results in a copy (just like any move between folders on different disks requires a copy).
The cost is that moves are slow, the benefit is that snapshot protection is possible.
Though often times the problem is not the disk speed, it is the network copy. Try accessing the \\NASNAME as admin, and moving within that window (using the left pane to navigate). That should be much faster than 4 Mbyte per second.
How fast is your network? From your speed I am thinking it is fast ethernet, - I tried it from a WLAN-Laptop.
EDIT:
I thougt when i say on my Laptop: copy from share1 to share2 it would be done directly only on NAS > NAS, not NAS > WLAN Laptop > NAS .....
EDIT END
RN104 Raid5 4x2TB for me is 40MByte/Write and 60-70MByte/Read.
No i find the right way to copy/move with original RN104 "Share"-Website.... i think that is the fastest way.... :-)
Thank you very much for your Information !
P.S. Any idee to my other post, how i can kill the APP "AJAXplorer" ?? UteDohrs wrote: ...I thought when i say on my Laptop: copy from share1 to share2 it would be done directly only on NAS > NAS, not NAS > WLAN Laptop > NAS ...
That depends in large part on Windows, not the NAS. If the Windows machine can tell that the two folders are in the same volume, it can do a move.
But if it can't tell, it does a copy/delete. That copy/delete is done over the network - so every file is copied to the PC, and then to the new location. Then deleted when it is finished.
When it does do a move, then there are two more scenarios.
(a) if the folders are in the same share, then the NAS will do a normal (lightening fast) move
(b) If the folders are in different shares, then the NAS will copy them - but this would be a local copy, not over the network.
Agreed, that is a good way.UteDohrs wrote: ...the right way to copy/move with original RN104 "Share"-Website.... i think that is the fastest way.... :-)

No, sorry. That's not an app I have used.UteDohrs wrote: P.S. Any ideato my other post, how i can kill the APP "AJAXplorer" ??
