Hard disk upgrade

[weirskynet]

Hi their folks looking to upgrade the hard disk on my solo2 as i have a spare 300gb free from the 160gb i have in it currently

what im wondering is whats the best way to backup and transfer the stuff over ?

[judge]

Easiest way would be to mount both drives & move from one to the other.

[abu baniaz]

Initialise (format in ext file sytem) first though.

[weirskynet]

How do I go about moving the files ?

Using telnet, something like

mv /media/hdd/movie/* /media/hdd2/
You'll have to check the mount paths...

Sweet thanks

I just initialised the new hdd in the box then plugged both drives into a PC and booted up off a Linux boot disk and then copied the files over from old to new.

Thought you said it was mounted as USB?
Anway:

mv /media/hdd/* /media/hdd2/
Should do the trick.

That's if you want to move, not copy the contents?

[weirskynet]

says ommiting directory on some , anyway to override it?

[weirskynet]

nope only copies some then says ommiting directory and files

any other commands i can try
or anything else i can do?

[abu baniaz]

FTP program?

[craig.gorms]

FTP program?

FileZilla is a good FTP application :-)

Can you copy & paste one of the ommit errors here.

this is what filezilla says when i try to copy files directory to directory

[weirskynet]

root@vusolo2:~# mv /media/hdd/* media/hdd2/
mv: can't rename '/media/hdd/lost+found': No such file or directory
mv: can't rename '/media/hdd/movie': No such file or directory
mv: can't rename '/media/hdd/timeshift': No such file or directory
mv: can't rename '/media/hdd/usr': No such file or directory
mv: can't rename '/media/hdd/valerie': No such file or directory
mv: can't rename '/media/hdd/var': No such file or directory
mv: can't rename '/media/hdd/xbmc': No such file or directory


this is what i get from the mv command on telnet

[judge]

You probably don't want a lot of them anyway - lost+found, timeshift.
Not sure why you would have a /media/hdd/usr & /media/hdd/var

try
ls -s /media/hdd/
ls -s /media/hdd/movie/

What does it then say is in them?

[weirskynet]

256 lost+found 256 timeshift 256 valerie 256 xbmc
256 movie 256 usr 256 var

thats for the ls -s/media/hdd/

and this is for the ls -s/media/hdd/movie/

No idea why it's not moving them unless they are already in the destination folder.

Try:
mv /media/hdd/movie/Android (hit tab here so it completes the name for you) /media/hdd2/movie/

Does it then move the Android Cop directory?
If so, you could work your way down through the others...


Or
mkdir /media/hdd2/movie/leftover
mv /media/hdd/movie/* /media/hdd2/movie/leftover/

root@vusolo2:~# mv /media/hdd/ufc/* /media/hdd2/UFC/
mv: can't rename '/media/hdd/ufc/*': No such file or directory

i can use mkdir to make the directory but when i try the mv command thats what i get :confused::confused:

[judge]

mv /media/hdd/ufc/* is different than mv /media/hdd/UFC/*
it's case sensitive.

At this stage, maybe try as suggested by Abu above & use an ftp client.

[weirskynet]

does same when both are same case


have tried an ftp client file zilla but when i try to copy it within the program it fails also :confused::confused:

[weirskynet]

actually think i got it working , i tried it again and made sure it was correct directories and seems to be doing something
:p

[andyblac]

try


move -r /media/hdd/* /media/hdd2

[judge]

try


move -r /media/hdd/* /media/hdd2

move?
-r for recursive works well with copy, not mv.
No idea what messed up @weirskynet mv though...
If the 2nd disk was blank, should have just worked.

[weirskynet]

Yeah hard disk was empty and initialised also first

Have moved the movie/recording folder and items over and the other folders apart from some will try the other command when I'm home

If it don't then will just swap it out as have most off it now anyways
