is there a way to speed up rsync transfers

hi i not sure but i find rsync very slow  its taken over 1 Week to transfer 3TBs of data  of 6 TB

it seems Copy   through windows from Unraid to Unraid is faster

 

rsync -avzu -s --stats --numeric-ids --progress -e "ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa -T -o Compression=no -x"  "/mnt/user/Videos/TV Shows" "root@mitchtower:/mnt/user/Videos/TV Shows"  >> /boot/logs/cronlogs/MitchServerVideos.log

 

but id also like to see a Percentage of current file and overall progress like Freenas offered..

 

but mainly is there a way to speed rsync i have no idea why its so slow..  as copying is faster

oh i already have --progress  i really have no idea  when you put things in  like do you type it   -i, --itemsize..   with the comma

 

but i have the progress it shows it when a file is complete  100%  but it doesnt show a running count say a file  5%  then 20% etc.. and it doesnt show over all  entire %progress overall  so  25% complete of the entire rysnc  procedure..  so 25% complete of the entire area its rsyncing

ok i removed the -z  and testing  

 

as for the -i and a comma  reason why  i ask. is   its -i comma and then they give 4 or 5 different options for that -I  reason why i ask

as for the other ones i just copied and pasted from another link that was using it for syncing

but what confuused me was the  comma then more options its listed when you just type rysnc

so from rysncing  its showing the speed  i only getting like 497 k/bs so a 200 meg file takes 8 min to copy over the network of a Gigabit   so somewhat is wrong even though 1 hd is 7200rpm  the other is 5900 rpm  old drive still should be faster then that... what could cause it being slow...  

 

and this is what i ment with the commas how you choose the options after the comma

-i, --itemize-changes       output a change-summary for all updates
     --out-format=FORMAT     output updates using the specified FORMAT
     --log-file=FILE         log what we're doing to the specified FILE
     --log-file-format=FMT   log updates using the specified FMT
     --password-file=FILE    read daemon-access password from FILE
     --list-only             list the files instead of copying them
     --bwlimit=RATE          limit socket I/O bandwidth
     --outbuf=N|L|B          set output buffering to None, Line, or Block
     --write-batch=FILE      write a batched update to FILE
     --only-write-batch=FILE like --write-batch but w/o updating destination
     --read-batch=FILE       read a batched update from FILE
     --protocol=NUM          force an older protocol version to be used
     --iconv=CONVERT_SPEC    request charset conversion of filenames
     --checksum-seed=NUM

I usually get around 80MB/s average, transfer around 300GB per hour.

I see about the same performance as @johnnie.black so, it would appear you have other network issues slowing down your transfers.

 

In my last rsync backup on Monday, the largest amount of new data transferred in any one share was 33GB.  This was copied over to the backup server in about 6.5 minutes, so, roughly the same 300GB per hour that he is seeing.

No they don't. You're misunderstanding the help text or the man page for the rsync command. The comma isn't a part of the -i option. Just like it isn't a part of the -a option that I showed you. The hyphen followed by a single letter is the short form of the option. The double hyphen followed by a longer string of characters is the long form of the option. The comma is just a separator in the help text. You don't use it in the actual command.

Those are three unrelated options. --out-format=FORMAT has nothing to do with the -i option. Neither has --log-file=FILE.

You're only getting about 90 Mbps.  That's as good as you can expect if one or both of your NICs is only 100 megabit.  If it is a gigabit LAN, something is misconfigured. 

 

What does ethtool report for the speed of your NICs?

Both NICs are reporting a speed of 1000Mbps.

 

In that case, you have a problem with switch ports, Ethernet cables, etc.  Start by checking your switch ports and see what speed they are reporting if you have a managed switch or ports built into the router.  Verify that your switch ports, are in fact gigabit ports.

 

Somewhere, you are limited to 100Mbps speeds.

It is also worth pointing out that being limited to 100 Mbps can be a cabling Issue.   You only require two pairs of connectors in the cable to be working to get 100 Mbps while 1000 Mbps requires all four pairs in the cable to be working.   This can be confusing as the cable still appears to work but you silently get degraded to 100 Mbps.
