File copying takes forever

ZimaOS
1

My system:
A Asus motherboard 12th gen I5 processor, 64Gb mem and 2 HDD, with 1 NVME SDD in a raid 5 config.

What’s happening?
I have a backup HDD that is hooked up to the system.
Now i want to COPY files from the backup HDD to the raid configuration.
This hangs after 5 Gb or so.

When i first download the files, and then use the UPLOAD function, then all works pretty ok.
Why is this?

Also
When sharing a folder, put some files in it, and then delete the folder…the SMB share is still visible on the other computers. When i click on the file i got a " cannot find file" message.

My workaround

After some tinkering and testing, i came up with the following.

  1. Make 2 shares, 1 with the backup drive and 1 with a map that’s on the destination (NAS) drive.
  2. Go to the filexplorere and explore the 2 maps.
  3. Copy from the backup to the nas drive,

Compare the 2 maps by files and maps.

I hope this helps.

UPDATE

As for now, there drops of data at large files copying.
After checking several directory’s of movies, some where empty.

Confirming that large files and folders are not adequite handled.
It is wise to check filesizes after copying.

Perhaps it would be an idea if there is a mechanism that compare the filesizes on backup an NAS directory?
Sometimes there are problems that a SMB share is not accessible. This is not a ZimaOS limitations, but more a SAMBA thing, i think.
Beter is to opt for a NFS share.

How to do this, can be found here.

Have you solved it now? Any other problems?

Hi,

I have very good news.

  • uploading a 120Gb zip file to Zima_nas works
  • decompressing this zip file works
  • copy/paste a map with files from backup drive to Zima_nas works also

I don’t know why it didn’t worked.

Following I wil make 2 shares. One for the nas, and one for the backup drive and test if i can copy the files using smb.

This works great!

Now i wan’t to copy and past a map within de Zima_nas and the copy process hangs.
I have still a perfect transfer speed, but that is fake.
I cancel the copy job and remove the directory to the trash.
I delete the trash and start over.

Suddenly within a second the copy is finished…
