#Grsync ubuntu source mount mac
UPDATE: I’m trying rsync over ssh from the mac server to the ubuntu server and it seems to been going much faster (it took less than two hours to create a file list and start transferring, where as when rsyncing from the nfs mount took around six hours just to build the initial file list.) It definitely looks like there is some problem with mounting the NFS share on the mac. (PS: I’ve tried just using ‘cp -arv’ which doesn’t seem to fail but according to the network traffic monitor on the Mac it seems to take twice as long to copy files as rsync after rsync has built its file list?) I wouldn’t mind running to the rsync command over and over until the copy was finished, but it takes about 6 hours just for rsync to make it’s file list.Īny suggestions? Would it be faster to just rsync over SSH? Thanks! I’m assuming that for some reason the NFS links are going stale? What could be causing this? The Ubuntu server is not crashing and there are not connectivity issues that I am aware of. I mounted the nfs share on the Snow Leopard server and then ran rsync -av /Volumes/FromUbuntu /Volumes/LocalCopyĪfter it copies around 100GB it complains that files have vanished.

The Ubuntu server has an NFS share of around 6TB which I’d like to clone to the Snow Leopard server.


I’m in the process of moving files from an Ubuntu server to a Snow Leopard server.
