Attempting to run copy files from Ubuntu server to Unraid share using rsync.

On the unraid server I ran the following command

 

rsync  --progress --inplace  -avzhe   [email protected]:/home/user/VoD/Movies/  /mnt/user/VoD_Movies/Movies

Here is what I have experienced with rsync, and others have experienced similar things with other applications like Krusader.

 

The application creates all the folders in advance, then copies all the files to those folders. A user share can span disks in Unraid, so a user share has a lot more capacity than a single disk does. But, when all the folders are created in advance, they wind up on a single disk, then when the files are copied to those folders, that single disk won't hold them all.

 

One way to work around this is to not rsync so much at once. After one copy is complete then depending on Allocation Method etc. a different disk will be chosen for the next rsync.

 

When it happened to me, I noticed that it was working in alphabetical order, so I began moving some of those precreated folders to other disks before it got around to copying their files.

Ahhh this makes sense, do you know if there is and app to find empty folder so I can delete them?

 

Thanks

the following command will find any empty sub-directories, starting in the current directory:

 

  find . -type d -empty

 

and the following on will find and delete any empty sub-directories, starting in the current directory:

 

  find . -type d -empty -delete
