In my MediaSonic Probox the backup1 drive is still formatted with xfs. Since XFS throws an error now and then requiring me to umount the drive, run xfs_repair, and remount it I want to replace the filesystem with ext4.
Currently, the drive holds 644GB. When I've tried to `cp -R /media/bkup1' to a 1TB USB flash drive it's taken hours and fails when the cp command hits the spot(s) causing the errors. One approach I could use is to copy each of the 8 subdirectories one at a time. Is there a better way to copy off the files so I can replace the filesystem and re-copy the files back to it? TIA, Rich
