I put a new drive in my NAS(Freenas) and need to copy the contents from another drive. I'm signed in as root via SSH. I've been using the command rsync -avP /mnt/Red3TB/Temp/Videos/ /mnt/Red4TB/Temp/Vidoes

The screen shows files being copied successfully, but when I go to the destination folder in the mapped shared drive in Windows and as root in Putty there are no files there. If I run Rsync again, it starts at the same 1st file. So, I know the files aren't being copied. If they were Rsync would start after the most recent file that was on both source and destination.

I did notice it would say this after I hit Ctrl-C to stop the Rsync

rsync error: received SIGINT, SIGTERM, or SIGHUP (code 20) at rsync.c(642) 
[sender=3.1.3]
rsync: mkstemp "/mnt/Red4TB/Temp/Videos/FILENAME_HERE.2Gs8hT" failed: 
Operation not permitted (1)

Looks like rysnc no longer works with windows datasets and you can't use the -p argument with them. These arguments should not be used. -a, --archive equals -rlptgoD (no -H, -A -X) -p, --perms Preserve permssions -A, --acls Preserve ACLs (implies -p)

See here for full details and credit where I found the answer

    What do you mean by Windows datasets? I would guess that the problem is caused by the Windows file system (NTFS, FAT32 or exFAT), where the file permissions cannot be treated individually, when opened in linux. Or is it caused by Windows style file names that are not compatible with linux file systems or something else?
