So I'm new to configuring a NAS. I am migrating from Windows 7 where I had two 3TB hard drives containing media.
I have configured FreeNAS with one of the 3TB drives and set up my ZFS Share and created a (empty) volume that I can see on my network. This leads me to two questions:
First, is there an easy way to migrate the data from the NTFS formatted drive to the new share without just copying across my network? I'm looking at migrating 2.6TB of files so it'd take FOREVER...
Second: once migrated, can I easily add the second drive to the ZFS share to set up mirroring if it wasn't set up with mirroring originally?
I have access to a third 3TB drive through work, so I could recreate the share with the mirroring turned on if the second question isn't possible...but moving the data in a timely manner is a deal-breaker for me (and my wife).
Thanks!!!
