High Speed File Move

I have a DNS-323 with two disk drives.

I need to move the contents of one drive to the other.  400GB in my case -- it'll take a while using samba and it will generate a ton of network traffic.

I'm wondering if I could telnet into the NAS and issue some unix commands to have the DNS-323 do this internally without working through the network interfaces.  Might be a handy technique with the large drives of today.

For instance:

Move the 'Videos' folder (and subfolders) on Volume_1 to the 'Videos' folder on Volume_2

Can it be done?  If so what would the syntax look like (during a telnet session).

cp --help

good luck

Re: High Speed File Move

mv "/mnt/HD_a2/myfoldericoluntbebotheredtofindoutaboutsoaskedanyway" /mnt/HD_b2

The quotes will take care of any spaces in filenames.
If you just type "mv" at the telnet prompt it will give you further details.
