I tried to copy 118.01 GiB of data from dataset A to dataset B on the same pool. In a typical SCALE fashion, it’s broken and I humbly ask how to get around it. I executed cp -a /mnt/pool/datasetA/. /mnt/pool/datasetB/ and walked away. This morning I came back, only about 68 GiB was copied over. Rest wasn’t. If you can, please advise on how can I copy data on TrueNAS Scale 24.10.2.2 from one existing dataset to another existing dataset.
…and what happened? Error message? Anything? cp works just like in any other Linux environment.
“Over the network” is the obvious answer, as it’s how TrueNAS is designed to be used. Or you can always use mc.

cpworks just like in any other Linux environment.
Nothing happened. No error. And when I go back to shell, and press the up arrow key, the last command is not the cp command, but the cd command I executed before it.
I’d be happy to learn how to copy contents over network from the device onto itself.
You mean, back to the shell in the web UI? There’s your problem. It’s less broken than it was in CORE, but it’s still a waste of time and space for any but the most trivial of tasks. Use ssh.
You know how shares work, right?

Shell possibly timed out.
Use tmux - which will keep the command active

Are you sure about that, with that dot in the middle?
I believe that instructs cp to also include hidden files.
