Moving files inside of CIFS share....

[DifferentStrokes]

I finished building my new FreeNAS box and I transfered all the files from the old server to the new server. With the new shares it takes a long time to move files because for some reason the files are coming from the server to my desktop and then back to the server. With the old FreeNAS 0.7 share I could move files around(drag and drop) and it "moved" them instantly.

The new NAS only has the one share and these files are all inside of that share. I realize that the older version of FreeNAS was an older version of FreeBSD and of Samba. I'm I missing something here? Is there a setting somewhere or maybe something has changed with Samba? I don't know. What do you all think?

Are all the files on the same dataset?

SMB2 in samba supports server-side copy in the same share (if the client supports it), but copying between shares will not be server-side. What is your client OS?

Windows 8+ supports server-side copy. Windows 7 supports server-side copy through robocopy.

I didn't think of that. Still new to the whole ZFS thing. They are not in the same dataset. Let me try a drag and drop with inside the same dataset. Thanks.

Linux Mint 17. The client is unchanged.

Just tried it. Works fine if inside the same dataset. Why is that, I wonder?

You're essentially moving them between "drives" when you move them between datasets for lack of a better way of explaining it.

Ok, thanks Jailer. I sincerely appreciate your quick responses.
