    Unable To Copy Files?!?

    I'm having issues copying files from a USB attached HDD (formatted by the NAS to EXT3) over to a NAS device.
    First some background info (maybe relevant or may not be): I upgraded the HDD in my NAS and now I'm unable to copy the files over from the old HDD while plugged into the NAS. Also tried copying over from windows 7 (64 & 32 bit) as well as an XP machine using EXT2FDS & IFS resulting in perpetual re-booting of all three machines.
    As a result of that I got a brainwave to try copying the files over from a bootable Linux DVD (Unbuntu 11.04) to the Nas over the network.
    I am in Unbuntu now but I am having problems copying to the NAS. It seems to work when I select individual files but when I select a folder/folders/sub folders to copy over an "error while copying" dialog box appears appears. For example: in "Show More Details" here is the copied text from an error: "Error stating file '/media/f0745264-c91b-4528-9fe3-e3469cdb13cc/Public/MANUALS/oliver_manual_99_99GM_tractors_O_7_1956.pdf': Input/output error"

    If there is any other method I can get these files copied over please let me know.

    Appreciate if anyone can help me out, thank you in advance.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Without a lot more information about make/model of the NAS, how it is configured (JBOD/RAID-X/LVM etc) and the size/brand+version of the old hard drive and the new one, there isn't much we can tell you. I have done this sort of thing on my Buffalo TeraStation NAS drives without problems. Both are RAID-5 configured, so replacing the drives with a bigger ones required replacing each drive, one at a time, rebuilding the array, and with the last drive it resized the array to reflect the bigger disc size.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    The NAS is a Qnap TS-109 it is configured for a single disk (Jbod I believe). The old disk is a 500 GB Seagate Barracuda. The new drive which is now installed in the NAS is a 1TB WD Caviar Black.

    The TS-109 is capable of holding only one drive but it does have an ESATA external port and 3-USB ports.

    One thing to mention, when I plug the drive into the NAS via ESATA or USB it does not recognize the drive even though the 500gb drive was in the NAS originally.

    Are you sure the device can handle a larger disc? What does the documentation say about that? Also, since a NAS has its own operating system, how do you get to the admin/formatting routines? Via a web page?

    With the latest firmware, which I have, it can handle up to a 2TB drive. The OS is administered through a web browser.

    If it helps, a live working demo of the NAS OS is available here qnap . com /livedemo.asp
