I am having trouble bringing my data over onto freenas.

I just set it up with the current version 9.3.

I set up my disks and then mounted a external hard drive through usb.

I used Import disk in the webgui and the only things tht seemed off is the %complete it was displaying. The disk I was importing is more than 2 terabytes and though Disk Import was displaying 99% complete I could tell from the files it was working with at the moment that it had a ways to go probably 80-90% still to go.

So I left it overnight.

In the morning I had an error about 4 hours into the import.

Mar 1 04:05:57 freenas sockscopy: Import of Volume /dev/da0s1 encoutered the following error invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'ra'
Mar 1 09:38:01 freenas sockscopy: User Terminated Import of Volume: /dev/da0s1
Mar 1 09:38:04 freenas ntfs-3g[34246]: Unmounting /dev/da0s1 (My Book)

That 9:38am stuff did not happen until I hit ok on the displayed error in the morning.

That 'ra' thing made me think some file in this might have invalid characters or something and I wanted someones opinion on this before I tried figuring it out.

Are you hooking the MY Book USB external drive directly to the Freenas machine?
This is not recomended! Freenas does not play well with the USB interface.
This previous thread might be helpful if I understand your propblem.
You might try hooking the external drive to a client computer on your network and copy
over the files that way, yes it will be much slower, but chances of success should be higher.
