hi currently i rsynced several tbytes of files / backups to other/newer drives using fedora 32 x64. - the data was on ext4 / ntfs drives before. - the machine has 8GB ram and swap - different external usb3 drives up to 10tb
bug: - rsync to a exfat drive often halted leaving a defunct rsync process (different data, different drives, always exfat target) - i had to sync a 6tb data package by syncing subdirectories subdirectories step by step - for other data packages just kill the defunct process and start again , kill and start again, ... finally got it transferred - the halt doesn't only happen when writing, but also when checking by content "-c" i'm not sure how to debug this request: when doing a comparison "-c" of data on separate external drives rsync reads part of one drive, then reads part oft the other drive, then compares, then reads .. . usb3 is still slow when it comes to tbytes -> it would be great if reading would be done in parallel when using "-c" -> could reduce time needed for comparison to nearly 50% best r -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
