Migrating data from WHS to unRaid – taking forever!

14 Mar

So i started removing hard drives from my WHS 1 Terrabyte at a time.  It is taking forever. WHS first has to move all the data onto the remaining drives before allowing me to remove it.  Then I add the drive to the unRaid Server. I will then copy the data (Blu-Rays, Movies, and TV) from the WHS to the unRaid server, which will also take forever.  I should have 4 TB of storage ready in the next 2 hours or so.  Then I will start a file copy overnight of about 3 TB of data.  Hopefully when I wake up everything will have gone smoothly.

 
 

New projects. WARNING – NERD ALERT.

08 Mar

My 3 new projects that i have decided to take on are the following:

1. Changing the surveillance camera system to utilize better cameras that are night sensitive.

2. Building my own firewall device including a DHCP server. I will be using an ALIX 2D2 board and pfSense software for the firewall.

3. Migrating some data from my 13TB WHS to an UNRAID solution using a new Atom dual core processor.  This will allow better usage of the hard drive space and the atom board will cut power usage by ALOT!

I will post more about each project as they progress.
