Is RSYNC frozen..no status.
Hi all,
I am backing up via rsync to a ReadyNAS PRO running RAIDator 4.2.9 from a ReadyNAS 516 running 6.2.0.
The pro is pulling data from the 516.
Here is the problem. There are a few thousand folders that need to be synchronized. I started the rsync at 5:00 AM today. Almost immediately I saw new folders start appearing in the target shares on the pro. So everything looked good.
When I look at the share on the pro now, I still see the folders in there. However, they are all timestamped for this morning at 5:00 AM (when the back up started) for date modified and not the actual date/time of the source. I cannot login to any of the folders as it is saying I don't have permissions to access to the shares. I thought maybe since the rsync was in process and not complete, I was not able to get in.
However, over the last 30 mts, the free space on the volume in the pro has not gone down at all. Does this mean the rsync failed (even though the status shows it is in progress). I cannot imagine why the free space does not shrink as the files are being copied over.
Should I give it more time and let it run until it fails or should I just cancel and restart?

It seems that the firmware of your ReadyNAS Pro is kinda old... why not consider updating it to the latest version RAIDiator v4.2.27. Then, try to run the rync backup again.- Also, generally it is faster if you run NFS first, and then edit the backup job to rsync and then run it again.
