Teracopy Key
Rosette Allaband
Thanks for moving the thread to the right place.
I've installed the latest version of the Teracopy.
I've installed the latest version of the directory Opus.
Then I copied the commands from the tera copy control panel to integrate teracopy with directory opus.
I've copied both commands for copy and move and added the two buttons and added the commands correctly, and then changed icons.
(If the path to %temp% has a space, allfilepath might generate a path which has quotes added around it. That could confuse TeraCopy if it's expecting the special * it wants to be before or after the quotes and they're the other way around.)
Most of the time, you're only adding complexity by using another tool for copying. It might be worth it if you want specific functionality from TeraCopy (e.g. the way it handles copy queues vs how Opus handles them) or find that the way it copies happens to be faster with your hardware (which is somewhat random, from program to program, but usually identical no matter what you use). If neither of those applies then I wouldn't bother. But presumably you are using TeraCopy for a reason and not just doing this for fun?
Note: I've followed the instructions you mentioned and did the add of "" to the copy and move command and I've realized that it is now working with the MOVE command only, and still not working with COPY command.
I think you are right about that because I tried to copy by opening Windows Explorer and using Tera Copy, but I got an error that something wrong happened... I can not figure it what it is exactly.
What happened is that I copied a file, and pasted it in another place, and I found that the tera copy started to copy, but after finishing the copy, the file size was the same, but the icon of the newly copied items was not copied correctly.

I've been searching for a solution for that issue since my last post.
I've even reinstalled my entire windows system clean install all over once again to make sure things are clear.
I've reinstalled TeraCopy 3.12, and disappointed that problem still exists.
Just opened the option of any copy job and you will find these settings:
I just by accident clicked on reset to default and restated the software, and it is working once again.
I do not know what happened but glad that it is working now, and thought to share it in case anyone has the same issue.
Is it possible your computer is trying to put the NIC/PC to sleep, thus disconnecting it from the network? I know this shouldn't happen, but I'd look at the power options for your NIC in device manager, and the power options for your computer in general.
You can start by telling us which version of unRAID. What OS are you copying from? And then, you can look at the post at the top of this forum which suggests it is a good practice to attach a system log. It often has clues to what is happening.
Have you considered copyng from within the server ? You could add drives to your unraid server but not add them to the array and then copy from -wthin- the server to the new disks... That would be spectacularly faster and it takes a lot of components out of the mix that might give issues..
Unfortunately there seems to be no solution for this problem yet.. I notice this problem with different copy programs, different OS, and even SMB or NFS. I noticed also, that this happens only at the start of transferring a new file. When it begins copying, the file is completely copied. But if it does not start, then an error occurs like "Network resoure is not available any more".
I also noticed that if this error occurs, the target data disk is working and working but nothing happens. The parity disk is doing nothing in this time. If you retry to copy the file, it usually works.
It's excactly what I've discovered and described in my thread: When starting to copy a file, the server first tries to allocate the space but since it is a large file, it takes longer than the windows time-out. But this problem only occurs when the free space on the target disk is getting lower (about 20-25% free space, so many times enough free space for the file to copy).
I can reproduce this issue. I just inserted a fresh 2 TB disk yesterday and copied about 1.5TB without any problem, but then the problem "Network resource not available any more" rises again and you have to try several times until it begins to copy the file.
i was wondering today if its a teracopy problem... i did insert a clean 2tb drive this morning... when trying to copy with teracopy, it would copy a gb or two and then fail with the error 'network destination not available' or whatever the error is...
but maybe to your point, maybe the array needed a few minutes to adjust the allocations to the new drive, and during this time i was getting the error.... maybe a few minutes later when i uninstalled teracopy and used the win 7 copy, maybe the array was ready to just continuously write to the new clean drive...
Most likely the problem will rear its ugly head again. The mysterious disappearance of the network connection has most likely nothing to do with UnRaid nor anything with the network, but it is all Win 7 related. I have participated in many of the discussion here regarding the symptoms you are experiencing and came to the conclusion that it is "green ribbon of death - Windows 7". Search this site for "green Ribbon" and you will get to this -technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=15845.0 link where some of us tried all kind of different solutions but none worked effectively. I have lost data by moving, it started the move then the error destination no longer available and data was gone. So I do manual copy and delete from Win 7 machines.
Also I have found the standard setup on my HP N40L running v5 beta14 to be very stable. I still get the Green Ribbon but it does not go into the death part. I keep my Win 7 x64 machines regularly updated and have not seen the error dialog box in quite awhile.
TeraCopy Timer - A program of mine, front end really, that I have been working on (on & off) for some time, but not shared here before, that I recall. Third party program TeraCopy is required.
BE ADVISED - I still use an older version of TeraCopy (v2.27), a goody but an oldy, so have only tested my program with that. It may work with the newer v3.xx, or may be easily adjusted to do so, but I have not yet gone that route. Likewise, I only use it with Win 7 and Win XP, but I don't imagine there should be any issues with newer Windows. Add to that, my program being devised and created in AutoIt v3.3.0.0.
I devised my program for two main reasons really, based on giving me greater control, using the Free version of TeraCopy, which has some limitations (perhaps even with the paid full version). My program utilizes the features of the TeraCopy command-line.
2. I wanted to automate delays between jobs, allowing all HDD's to rest periodically when doing large and lengthy jobs. Letting HDD's heat up too much, can have tragic results or considerably shorten their lifespan. Prevention is better than cure or just relying on monitoring software etc.
Those familiar with TeraCopy use, know you can run multiple copy or move jobs either simultaneously or concurrently (one immediately after another has finished). With the free version at least, you have no control over precise order or timing, and no way to deal (without manual interaction) with the pesky Thumbs.db files in Win XP. TeraCopy Timer allows you to do all those things, and in a batch fashion.
You can browse to set the Source and Destination paths, or like me, just use Drag & Drop to those inputs.
Once the Destination path has been set, the MIN (minimalist GUI) button becomes available. In Minimal mode, you get a further level of automation, once initial options are set, and thus less prompts ... none in fact, as jobs are created automatically based on either COPY or MOVE.
The program now displays three file size reports.
Individual Size of the current (last added) job (Blue label).
Total Size of all jobs combined (Black label).
Subtotal Size for each grouping of jobs, defined by a WAIT selection (Red label).
You toggle between Black and Red, by just clicking that label. If no WAIT has been set, then the values will be the same.
The wait of 5 minutes in the screenshot above is set for the source shown. It means wait 5 minutes before copying (or moving) that source.
More sources added from that point, add to a new subtotal. To see the previous subtotal, you need to be at the main (MAX) window, and select the prior job.
So every time a WAIT is clicked for a source a new subtotal count is started.
In the screenshot above, you can see the Job name, and that it is Job number 5 order wise. MOVE has been set for that job.
Selecting Job 4, you will see the previous (complete) Subtotal. Selecting job 3 (in this instance), you would see the subtotal up to that job.
Click the red Total label and it will change to Black, and show you the total size over all, as shown in the second screenshot above.
The Advanced Delay Options, are a further level of automation, added during the early stages of development, before I thought to create the Minimalist window and show Sizes. It was before I decided to put a lot more effort into the program. As with all my programs though, it is continual use that eventually dictates what I ultimately want to happen, to make my life easier ... simpler, better, smarter, quicker.
The main difference between this older method, and the new WAIT one, where you specify delays precisely, is that the program attempts to determine the best moments to pause, based on various factors, which you setup and can vary between different types of Job sessions.
