Hi All,
I've just installed freenas 8 on my HP microserver with 4 x 2TB HDD's in it.
I created a RAIDZ volume using all my 4 disks and want to copy existing data from an external usb hdd (NTFS) to my new RAIDZ volume. However it is taking FOREVER to copy through my 100mb LAN router. I read on a few posts an option to mount an NTFS volume and use Winscp to transfer via USB instead of through the LAN. I have tried to do this however it never seems to show up in the mounted volumes. Am I doing this wrong or missing something here??
Process I'm using: From GUI, going into storage, volumes, import volume, entering a name, selecting the external hdd from the dropdown menu, and selecting NTFS.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks.
