Data duplication concerns.
I'd rather have it in one place - plus I can sell the old one once the new is burnt in.

If you really need to send the data from the old to the new one... just remember to put the old one on top of the new one... it's always faster when bits go down...

Just take the discs out of the old Raid, and put them in the new one. Job done.
You can send the leftover discs to me, for disposal.

In theory, that should work.
But...I don't trust theories, so I'll leave the new disks in and copy the data in case the new NAS doesn't recognise the format from the old one. I'd really hate to lose all that data.
But thank you very much for being so considerate with my disposal needs!

16 TB!
That should be illegal!
Don't for get to get 2 though so you can backup the backup.

I would use robocopy for the transfer:
robocopy <source> <destination>
A bunch of options are available.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.

I'm hoping to be able to do that within the NAS by connecting it to the old one as a share so I don't have to take everything via the PC. I know the last time I did this it took all day and night via PC FTP, and I've added a lot since then.

If it runs Linux, then what is the file system, FAT32? NTFS? Something else?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Don't know - it's possible it's EXTn, my first NAS box used that (but it wasn't RAID).
If I have to find out, it means there has been a major problem!

IIRC Most of them run using the EXTn FS. BTRFS's raid support isn't considered officially production ready yet; and AIUI licensing incompatibilities make shipping a product with the Linux kernel and ZFS both pre-installed problematic. I covered why they don't just port their base platform to BSD a bit earlier over on the insider forum[^].
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The explanation there says "digitally reprocessed".
Just wondering the steps in that digital reprocessing ...
... remove noise ... sharpen ... pseudo-color ... what all, and in what order?
|
|
|
|

Virtually all of them are re-processed in some way: for me, does not lessen the beauty or the lesson.
|
|
|
|

Agree. No lessening of the beauty or magnificence. Makes one feel sooooooooo very insignificant on both the time and size scales.
Just curious as to what image processing they do on the raw images.

I searched for troll on Google maps and it took me to Global Advisors[^]. I find it funny.

So, feeling a tiny bit less pressure to code all the time, I have turned to finding silly little games for my Android phone. I only have two so far, but I'm hoping someone here can suggest some more. The two I can suggest, as very simple and easy time wasters are, Snood[^], and Dots[^].

How are things in Jo'burg? I heard on news that foreigners have closed their shops and are leaving. Is it safe, as foreigner, for me to go to Maboneng Precinct?

I actually don't know, beside isolated news reports. The most troubled city is Durban, a cool 500km from Joburg. Then, most of the violence is targeting African immigrants, so I doubt you would be a direct target, but, bare in mind, those prone to the xenophobia are largely uneduacted, thus active without reason.

I was in Durban a week before this started so I guess I was lucky. I really haven't been to Maboneng in a while and was really hoping to be there. Next time I guess then.
On news they said people have closed down shops in CBD. I was in Rosebank this afternoon and did not find any discomfort there.
