Question about rsync command (sending incremental file list forever)

Featured Replies

I have found the rsync comand and I was planning to use it to sync an external drive connected with unassigned devices with one share.

 

The unassigned device disk is a 2TB disk.

 

I use putty over ssh to connect to my unraid machine as root and use:

 

rsync --update --recursive --progress /mnt/disks/2tbdrive/ /mnt/disk1/share

 

but it takes forever with:

 

"sending incremental file list"

 

Am I doing something wrong?

Is it normal to take more than 1 hour to create the incremental file list? (I have stopped it after one hour)

 

Thankyou

Gus

I have tried it locally on my Mac and has worked at first try, no more than 5seg to parse incremental list.

 

What I don't know is why over internet using putty (ssh) doesn't work.

tree:

 

7429 directories

75656 files

What does "over internet" have to do with it? Have you exposed your server to the internet?

I don't know but didn't work as expected.

 

Have you exposed your server to the internet?

Yes (no sensitive content) for the moment until I know how to access my server in a secure way.

I have read about setting a vpn but didn't know exactly how to implement it.

 

It's not safe putty+ssh?

 

Is it safe to access trought MRP over one VM?

 

Thankyou

It's quite likely that the degraded performance you are complaining about is due to many bots trying to login to your server.

Then this issue would be with any other command entered? I can do any other task without any problem, copy, list, midnight commander, etc (I changed ssh to a non standard port) and I have "apparently" no other problem. I RDP to a virtual machine very fluently between other tasks.

 

Is there any log of people trying to access my server?

Do you recommend closing all ports then?

 

Thankyou

Close ports. Post diagnostics.

Nothing in syslog but it only includes several minutes after a reboot. If you closed your ports then rebooted then nothing would be seen.

I didn't close the ports yet.

Will let it all night and post logs tomorrow.

 

Thankyou @trurl !!!
