I have a media server setup using Mandriva 2011 64bit which I am using sata port multipliers feeding 15 sata hdds for media storage. Currently I have 10 of the drives filled using XFS and JFS file systems the other 5 drives are currently formatted XFS and are empty. I run sabnzb plus, sickbeard, and couchpotato using nfs to allow my media player access the files. My questions are as follows.
1 Does freenas 8 support sata port multipliers?
2 What options are available to transfer the media files off the XFS and JFS drives onto the empty drives formatted ZFS I have 15tb of files that need transfered the empty drives will hold 10tb which will allow me to transfer 6 of the full drives at one time allowing those to be formated ZFS and hold the rest of the media files. Using nfs or samba would be a last resort due to the time required to transfer the files over Ethernet and having to setup a second Linux computer for the file transfer.
