I recently got my first freeNAS set up. I'm running the most current version of 8.3.1 x64.
I configured my DNS and AD, set up my volumes, CIFS (smb) shares, and set my permissions. All good.
I have 4 drives: One 160gb UFS | One 4tb UFS | Two 160gb mirror ZFS w/ ZIL on 16gb flash | Two 40gb mirror ZFS w/ ZIL on 16gb flash.
I'm able to read/write/modify/delete with my users and groups at each client just fine, however, when I began copying over our "Public Drive", I had some issues. Copying from root did nothing. No error or anything. Copying a few folders at a time works. Copying a folder with a huge folder structure inside, doesn't work however.
I attempted to do it by copying the entire file-structure from the device's root, like I would from one NTFS drive to another. The device the old "Public Drive" is shared from is an ext. USB 160gb fireproof/waterproof hard drive. It is shared over the network, but I copied it from the machine it is actually attached to, but over SMB. I rebooted everything and played with permissions and things. I think I might try copying from CMD next to see what happens.
Question: Does freenas have a limitation on file-folder structures? Perhaps copying a large structure isn't allowed, because it could corrupt values or something of that nature, or am I experiencing an actual problem I should be troubleshooting?
Currently I am copying a handful of folders at a time, but I expected I'd be able to grab everything and just move it over via SMB. Is that not the case? Also, I'm trying to avoid connecting the device directly to the NAS for an import, because I don't want to bring the drive down during business hours. This way keeps my downtime low.
