Why can I not transfer over multiple folders?

[Shepppard]

I'm trying to drag over a bunch of folders over CIFS with windows 7. I can drag and drop 1 folder no problem but soon as I do 2 it just does nothing. Any ideas?

It actually seems to be an issue with file size. I put all the folders I was trying to copy over in 1 folder and it still will not transfer over. It's only 833 GB of data and it says that my freenas has 8.23 TB of storage left on it. I just transferred over 2.66 TB yesterday so I'm a bit confused.

It's almost certainly a Windows problem. Have you run a chkdsk on your drive to ensure there are no problems. You are also limited to 255 characters for the entire path and filename for file. If you exceed that bad things happen in Windows.

If you think your file path and name is too long you can find a free program like "CutLongNames" that will tell you what files are too long. Those files will not be able to be accessed properly until shortened to less than 255 characters.
