We have a storage server that we are reorganizing. We created a new DFS shared folder located on the same server and I am trying to transfer files between the two shares. This is taking exceptionally longer than I would expect. Between when I logged off last night and when I left last night and signed on this morning only two files have completed, though these are very large compressed data files (.7z, 2-3 TB each). I would expect however that transferring files on the same system just requires remapping the location without actually transferring the data. Is that not the case? Is there a quicker way to do this transfer?
I'll note that I am an end user accessing this from a client computer and not an administrator logging in directly. I'll answer and look up any questions I can but may not know all of the info you need up front.
