Recommendation for moving 3.4 TB Recorded TV folder to pool
I have 3.4 TB of ripped TV DVD's on a spanned disk. I have enough room on my current pool to move it over. I can't just point a new folder to where they currently are because I want to get the files off the spanned disk, break up the span and add those disks to the pool. Using the "move folder" wizard makes the files unavailable to the network while the move happens (which, based on the rest of the transferring I've done will take about 2.5 days).
The files are currently in the "prefab" shared folder "Recorded TV" (which I think makes a difference as to my options here). Is there a way to get these over on the pool without having to take the share down? Family accesses these often, and I won't be very popular if I have to take them offline for essentially the rest of the weekend. I'd love to have the copying done somehow in the background, then point the folder to the new location on the pool, then delete the original version.
Suggestions?
Thanks!!!
Ron
