The transfers begin

[ubergeek]

Just starting to move larger sets of data, it seems like its only using 1 of the 3 nics I have installed but it will get there

@ubergeek - How has this been going? Just deployed my new rig today and am seeing reduced xfer speeds. The most likely culprit are the 10yo disks on my older NAS. Just curious. Thanks!

Bet. I would be interested in your results. If you decide to post any updates (transfer speeds, file size, transfer method etc) please tag me if you can remember. No bigs if not, I'd just like to drill into the various potential xfer rates and what others are seeing. Cheers.

I will do, I know once i start the big transfer it will cap out at 1gb, I wish i could team the cards together but so far I seem to be capping out 1gbps with a few things moving data at once.

So went on a road trip, forgot about the transfer, it got hung up. So I am now letting it start again lol

Also picked up a case from a friend that built his Nas 15 years ago and has now swapped to a Rackmount and Jbod so now I have a proper case and will most likely be redoing all my hardware once i get home. Damn this hobby

Sucks your copy crashed. That's why I ALWAYS use Rsync for large copies, it uses a delta of data moved/remaining such that if the copy failes it can re-initiate where it failed. Pretty sure there is a way to get Windows to do this just haven't explored it a ton.

Sweet case! Is that 15 3.5 slots? How many do you plan to populate?

[ubergeek]

Nothing crashed, it just paused so I had to click try again and it resumed. it just sucks that It should of moved 10tb by now but I have a week left before I get home so plenty of time. 

And it is a 15x 3.5 and i should have it all filled with some more inside once I 3d print some holders for inside the case

On Windows that's robocopy. Maybe takes a bit to set all the appropriate arguments, but once you do, it's really the ideal tool for large transfers.

Ill have to look into this, I usually dont have to worry about it- but i am moving files from 2x 12tb drives to the NAS/ Only plan to do it once now that everything is in order.

I have been case modding since 2000. 3d Printers just make things easier, I use to have to do it in all metal and bend cut and make everything

I was going to use roadkill back up program to verify everything once it was loaded, but ill have to look into new programs

My network is probably gonna be so congested that week i try to move the files. 

I might wait for the family to go vacation

You're braver than me using that amoubt of storage on an OS that is in beta and currently only uses zfs1, are you running another solution to back this up?

My current solution is 2x 12tb in software raid in another box. and if all takes a poop im not worried, it would just be a PITA to bring things back from usb drives and add in the data from the 12tb . Also wanna note that im not scared of the "experimental state "of hex. I know I can scrap that OS  build and bring it back to freenas and let it take back over the cluster without any issues.

This right here!! Remaining aware of where we are in the development cycle is crucial for managing expectations.

well knowing it can be recovered in Truenas + the source of the backup has me covered
