Hi team,
I’ve only just noticed my movies dropped from like 850 to 450, and a few weeks prior - thought, huh - got a bit more % space on the TrueNas. I did not put two and two together.
I was transferring data from backup… and maybe I cut or something instead? I dunno :\
Anyway to easily work out what reduced in size via a log or something? 
You should start a new topic for this.
I think there is a third-party tool that can do things like compile a list of missing media, but that won’t work here since Plex has scanned the movies and removed the missing ones ('Emptied the Trash" on deleted items, clearing the listing/metadata).
It’s a good thing you made that backup of your media files, like we talked about before, right? You can just open a window of the backup drive side by side with the server and compare. Or you could just start dragging batches of movies from the backup drive to back to the NAS. Tell Teracopy to skip all duplicates and it will only copy over the movies you’re missing.
I’m doing a replacement of a storage pool right now (to upgrade space and add encryption) and I used that method after I thought I’d finished backing everything up. I just took all the main category folders and tried to copy them a second time to the backup. If Teracopy didn’t find anything new (all skipped as duplicate files) then I knew I did it right. Surprisingly it did locate some files I thought were already copied and had not been. So double-checking like this actually paid off.
Now I get to spend the next two days copying 10 TB back into the new pool on the server.
Absolutely. Although I think maybe I cut instead of copy or something… and messed up, definitely good. I can see discrepancy.
Tell Teracopy to skip all duplicates and it will only copy over the movies you’re missing.
That’s the plan.
One issue I have; at the moment, I’ve got my external HDD with all the movies mapped as D drive. I then have my pc - G drive.
Then there is the Truenas with P drive for Plex, and T drive for torrents.
When I try to transfer internally on the truenas e.g. from torrents downloaded to Plex… it always crashes the truenas, and I have to start again (so now I just avoid it completely).
What I am doing is sending from Truenas Torrent - T drive, to pc G drive… and in a temp folder, then uploading back to P drive on the truenas. Never any issues, but a pain in the ass.
Is that standard? Or a permissions thing maybe not done? 
I don’t know what would be causing this. I don’t have any issues from copying files directly from one networked drive location to another on the same system like that.
I do have an issue with Sonarr importing things properly now since I remade this pool however. It can’t see the items to import unless I have the files set as wide-open permissions (777). I have the sonarr user added to the transmission user group so 770 should be fine, but it still does not work.
Don’t need to have SMB setup? Samba? Or allowing them to internally communicate?
Or maybe because I map drives in PC, goes via that?
How do you action exactly?
I have Windows (SMB) shares set up on TrueNAS, and each of those is mapped to a drive letter on Windows. The shares are sometimes on the same drive pool but since TeraCopy can’t see that even when I move a file it still actually copies and deletes things to move stuff.
I have something odd on a test box like thus. It only reads the first half of the collection. Rough alphabetical break around m/n.
