Knut,

I think you will find you can use wildcards with the mv command (mv /vol/vol1/data1/sub1/* /vol/vol1/data1 ß that would take EVERYTHING under sub1 and drop it under data1) Of course, as Michael mentioned this should be tested first either with the simlautor, or on a test vol.

Good luck. Brett.

Hi thanks, Michael,

the syntax is: usage: mv file1 file2 So we would have do do something like „for each file in directory ...“ and „for each subdirectory in directory“ ...

If we would run this from an external server we would have to use plink. But the server would have to read the structure to know what to tell plink. With tens or hundreds of thousand small files this would take presumably more time than to copy them directly.

With kind regards. Knut

You should probably try the "mv" command from the netapp contoler (on a test dir first). Maybe you'll have to change the privilege mode to advanced or diag.

I you've any doubt during the real m€ove take a snapshot before proceeding to be able to quicky restore in case of problem

Hello *,

we have a NetApp working as a CIFS-Filer. A collegue wants to move about 6 TB of data in the directory scruture one level up within the same volume.

Using the filer with a LUN as a block device would work like this. A normal windows Server also can move data in between the same drive letter without copying it - just in a scond.

But the NetApp has no solution I know so far to make a move when it works itwself as a CIFS filer. And even worse it does not only cost disk space because it copies and deletes afterwards, but also all the 6 TB data move over the LAN.

Is there something like a move in advanced mode or any undocumented ways? Or to use NDMP copy in such a way?

thanks a lot in advance
