Paragon extfs for windows slow4/20/2023 At this point, the copy went about 6GB and then the machine restarted. I stopped the transfer, reformatted the CRU to EXT 3 again and started over. When I returned this morning it had only copied 10 more GB in the 16 hours I had left it, and it seemed to be stalled out. I really thought that this was going to do it, but since it was taking forever to copy (I assume because it needed to wrap the data in the proper format while copying) I left it when it had copied about 30GB in 90 minutes to copy overnight. For this I copied the DCP to my desktop with the hope of removing the additional external from the transfer, and I was able to open the EXT3 drive on my OSX and begin the copy of the DCP to the CRU. The other method I tried was using the paragon software EXTFs for Mac. I tried this method on another machine and got the same result. Sometimes this would happen after 4GBs had transferred, sometimes more, sometimes less - the most it ever got was 20GB of the 87GB. After opening the permissions, I copied the folder containing all of the necessary DCP files from the OS Journaled seagate drive to the EXT3 drive - simple enough, this is exactly how I had done it before, but this time every time I tried the copy the transfer would freeze the screen after the transfer started. I used terminal to remove the restrictions from the drive so that I could copy to it using the chmod 777 (I am not worried about the security measures for this purpose) command. I created a bootable Ubuntu flash drive, booted up the iMac with it, and hooked up my two drives. The drive that currently has the DCP (80GBs of data) is a 2TB seagate with USB3 and the CRU is a 500GB EXT 3 formatted. To preface I am using a late 2012 iMac running Mavericks with these specs: 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7đ.12 TB Fusion DriveĘ GB 1600 MHz DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB I have tried a ton of different things, which I will detail, and hopefully if anybody out there knows what to do you will literally be my savior. I had done it before, so I thought I knew what I was doing, but apparently not. If anyone here gives this method of cloning a Tablo external hard drive a try, and it works (or not), please post your results back to this forum so that others may benefit.I have been going through a bit of an odyssey the last two days trying to get my DCP that was created using EasyDCP on Mavericks OSX from the MacOS Journaled formatted drive that it is currently on to the CRU EXT3 formatted drive that I need to deliver the DCP. To try this, you do have to enable the Linux subsystem on Windows 10. I’m posting this because most folks don’t know that you can now open a Linux subsystem that comes with Windows 10. Like I said … I’ve not tried this at all. Now I’m not sure, because I’ve not tried this at all, but I’m thinking it aught to be possible to mount a Linux formatted hard drive … like the Tablo external hard drive … using that Linux Bash sub-system to copy the Tablo contents to a new external drive by just using your existing Windows 10 PC. I’m not talking about a “virtual machine” instance, it’s actually part of Windows 10. Sooo … If you have Windows 10, and keep it updated, you can run a Linux Bash command window as a sub-system of Windows 10.
