Hi everyone,
I have a stupid problem and I am looking for some pointers.
I have decided to change my storage computer from a RAID5 ext3 based system to a ZFS RaidZ system. All my hardware is compatible with ZFS except for the storage controller. I have a new storage controller ready.
My problem lies in moving all the data off the RAID volume and back onto the ZFS volume. I have acquired sufficient space to temporary hold all the files (stole the usb disks of my whole family). I am looking for a tool that can copy the data to a USB disk until the disk is full, then prompt me for the next USB disk and continue.
The system hosting the data is a linux box. The tool can run on windows as well if it can deal with FTP volumes.
Does anyone know of a tool that can do that? I found some spanning tools, but all of them assume that all volume sizes are the same (which is not the case).
