Where I seem to run into some trouble is when I try to restore from the
dedicated drive when it is attached to a machine via USB cable.
Specifically, when running a command such as this:
rsync -av /var/backup/machine1/home/SomeUser /home
I get a lot of messages such as this:
rsync: [receiver] mkstemp "/path/to/some/file.0atuCZ" failed: Invalid
argument (22)
I assume "/path/to/some/" is on the target drive. What filesystem are you
Yes, the target drive.
using on the USB drive? Can you give any real examples of failed
filenames (even just the final name, not the path)?
An example of a filename:
rsync: [receiver] mkstemp "/path/to/some/directory/WNYC's Leonard Lopate
Show/.wnyc_lopate.mp3?d=475.0atuCZ" failed: Invalid argument (22)
It seems blanks and characters such as apostrophes, brackets, etc, cause
problems.
As for filesystems, source/target can be
ext4 to ext4
ext4 to HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
HPFS/NTFS/exFAT to ext4
... depending on direction.
The HPFS/NTFS/exFAT is a 2TB portable Samsung SSD Model T7. I wasn't sure
if I should reformat it to ext4, leave as-is, or what?
"HPFS/NTFS/exFAT" isn't a filesystem. Are you getting that from fdisk or
something? What does mount say? I'm going to assume it's some type of FAT,
Yes from fdisk.
probably exFAT if it's actually one of that list. There are characters that
Looking at /etc/mtab it is reported as:
/dev/sda1 /run/media/pyz/T7 exfat
rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,iocharset=utf8,errors=remount-ro
0 0
So, yes, exFAT.
can't be in filenames on that. Also, you'll be losing file attributes and
labels which will be a problem if you want to restore in the future. I
suggest reformatting it to a Linux filesystem like ext4 or btrfs.
Thanks to Samuel and Todd.
Once all systems appear stable the 2TB Samsung T7 is going in the ext4
direction.
Thank you again,
