Cannot move files between datasets

[Makaveli6103]

I upgraded from 7.2 to 8.3 today and am trying to move over my torrent files from my original ZFS volume to my dataset where my transmission files live. When I attempt it, it fails and I get errors "ad_openat: cant chdir back, exiting" "afp_disconnect: primary reconnect failed"

Actually I am not moving them between datasets but from a folder I created inside my Volume to a new Dataset. What is the easiest way to do this?

If you're okay with Unix shell command line work, do it locally by logging onto the FreeNAS server and using 'mv' or 'cp' or 'rsync' or whatever you prefer.
If not, copy them to a workstation and then copy them back over to the NAS using whatever you usually do.

I am not comfortable in the Unix shell yet. I might just copy them out then back in. Will take longer but at least I know I wont mess anything up.

Thumbs up. That's the right way to go about it - stick with what you know will work, experiment only on things you don't care much about.

The unix command line is a great place to learn how to shoot yourself in the foot... I should know, I've been using them since 1991!
