rsync over site to site VPN coping the same data causing data duplication.


Recommended Posts

  Hey guys,

 

 

I can't figure this one out.  I have two unraid servers connected by a DD-WRT OpenVPN Server.  They have the rsync dameon setup.

 

When I run the rsync, it drops the files into a .sync/Archive folder, my understanding because I am not using the -inplace option.  I keep seeing the same files copy over to this folder.  I have yet to successfully run a single rsync to completion.  My longest attempt before an I/O error or connection time out was about a 2 week run.  The sync will get cut, and then I will rsync the movies to the correct folder locally and then delete the extra data in .sync/Archive.  What's interesting, is I am pulling over nearly 200 movie files before something kills my sync.  I will then do a rsync local from .sync/Archive to the correct folder and it will move like 2 new files over.  The local rsync works as it should, proving I have duplicate data in .sync/Archive

 

The idea is, the two folders should be closer and closer to getting into sync, even if I have to run it again. however I just keep getting duplicate data.  My raid array maxed out on me eventually.

 

This is how I am running the sync.  I tried with and with out the --checksum option hoping it would identify files correctly and not download unnecessary files.  Same results, massive duplication in the .sync/Archive folder

 

rsync -auzP --stats --inplace --ignore-existing --checksum --exclude-from /boot/rsync-exclude --log-file=/mnt/user/jffs/rsync.log rsync://192.168.4.5/mnt/user/Movies/  /mnt/user/Movies

 

Note I had to create an exclude for the DSstore and Appledouble files.  Data was originally uploaded by a Mac to the remote unraid server.  The data duplication was even worse until I excluded these.

 

  I'm at like 40 attempts, and tried with the no exec option to get the results I wanted, no go....

  Here is an example of my latest rsync locally after my VPN dropped again.  I was looking for potential new files, apparently 100% duplicate data 

 

This case no files were transferred between the .sync/Archive and correct movie folder.
