Rsync, hanging, OS 6,
I have a couple of old Sparc Duos that I am wanting to transfer the data to my new(to me) RN104. One of them has 0.2TB, the other 1.8TB data. I have previously transferred about 80% of the data from ...
I was also confused about this thread, as I was sure I had answered it, then had to again. Maybe the database got corrupted and restored?
I don't know what process runs the rsync itself. Like you, I've searched for likely suspects and found none. I've seen some references to where it was in OS4.x, but that didn't pan out for 6.x.
How much CPU time does TOP show you've used since the process started? I have a long one as well, and the CPU time is abominable -- usually under 10 minutes of CPU time over a 3-day job, most of which is skipping over existing files. With lots of leftover CPU time, I don't understand why rsync is not using more and completing the job more quickly. It's at priority 30, but that really shouldn't matter when the CPU is nearly idle. Network and CPU usage spike when there is a file to copy, but are nearly non-existent otherwise.
I finally killed the job last night when I was trying to get rsync working Duo > RN104 so I cannot look at how much CPU time it took for the job, sorry.
I did some more work this morning and found a number of files to look at, but it's hard work to try and figure out what references which file and variables when you aren't a programmer.
Knowing the backup was complete and accurate I set the RN104 rsync job running again this morning. It completed in just 13 seconds.
I don't quite believe that, but the log is copied below.
I have another 2TB disk to add to the array now, so will leave the RN104 alone until it has completed the expansion, so it will probably be a couple of days before I can give another update.
Thanks for the help so far :smileyhappy:
