Blade Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Is there a way to move files from one tower to another using linux itself and not having to copy from within Windows? I do not want to use Windows to do this. Link to comment
Rajahal Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Yes, there is, but it is a lot of work. You can mount the shares from tower2 onto tower1, then use midnight commander to move the files. I don't know the syntax to mount the shares, you will have to look those up. Why not just use Windows + TeraCopy? Much simpler and safer, albeit slower. Link to comment
joshpond Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 You can mount the server 2 inside server 1 using the mount command. Then use screen Then rsync to copy. If you need the scripts let me know. Josh Link to comment
marcusone Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Easier method would be to use your windows machine and a program called teracopy. Then have teracopy do a verify to ensure the files were synced/copied without error. Faster method definitely is rsync. But harder to do if your not familiar with linux drive mounting.

dgaschk Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Here are instructions for setting up a rsync server: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=13432.0 This should be the fastest method. Link to comment

joshpond Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Sorry not scripts as automated ones but cmd lines: Now I'm going from memory here as I haven't done this for a while but you have to mount the other folder from the server you want the data from. Create a temp directory mkdir /mnt/temp mount the server to copy from into the server to copy to mount -t nfs //xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/your/folder /mnt/temp run this in screen screen rsync the files you want over rsync -av --stats --progress /mnt/temp /dir you want the files exit screen ctrl + A and the ctrl + D to return type screen -r I hope that is all correct Josh Link to comment
dirrtyjoe Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Why not rsync? I just copied 4TB of data from one box to another without a hitch. Link to comment
dirrtyjoe Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Should have read above, looks like others suggested the same. Link to comment
