I’ve got a directory with 300GB data I want to move from Volume_1 to a newly installed Volume_2, is it possible to order the DNS-323 to move the directory structure using Telnet instead of copy everything back and forth over the network.

Actually you may be able to use the scheduler to do a backup from Volume_1 to Volume_2 but ill have to confirm that. Go to the main login page and use the "Schedule" button and try to do a local backup from Volume_1 main directory to Volume_2 and see if it works.

I searched a little about shell commands and found out that move was called mv and are now testing
mv "/mnt/HD_a2/Downloaded" "/mnt/HD_b2/Downloaded"
unfortunately all files ends under "/mnt/HD_b2/Downloaded/Downloaded"
I’ve tested mv "/mnt/HD_a2/Downloaded" "/mnt/HD_b2"
But I gets the response
mv: cannot remove `/mnt/HD_b2/Downloaded': Is a directory

try "cp -r /mnt/HD_a2/Downloaded /mnt/HD_b2"
cp mean copy. "rm" or "rmdir" are the commands for remove after sucessfull copy.
Check sucessfull copy before removing.

I had a similar problem, with the /Downloads directory on one drive appearing in /Downloads/Downloads on the second drive.
Trick was to rename the second drive to something else, then move it to the desired spot using mv -f command.
In steps:
1. Rename the directory to something else. I used windows expolorer to rename /Downloads/Downloads to /Down/Downloads
2. Move the differently named directory to the desired location.
mv - f /mnt/HD_b2/Down/Downloads /mnt/HD_b2/Downloads
note that i'm moving things on the second drive HD_b2
This worked instantly, rather than having to copy it all over again. I don't understand linux all that well but this seemed to circumvent the confusion caused by having the same directory names everywhere.

Skip -f as this means force. The rest is fine and is what you need todo.
