[SOLVED] rsync to mounted SMB share

[mkyb14]

I always forget how I did it, and or can't find on google what's going wrong.

 

Setup is a Proxmox ZFS share in SMB (confirmed it's mounted and works. have multiple time machine backups hitting folders within this share)

Unraid 6.8.3, and mounted that share locally on the MAIN page.  lists the share as //pve/BigData.

 

What I'm not getting is that I was expecting to see a local mount point in /mnt and thought I would be doing a local rsync between the /user/Movies within unraid to /mnt/Movies etc.... but I don't see /mnt/otherserver smb share listed there... what am I missing?

 

unraid is 192.168.22.20

Proxmox ZFS is 192.168.22.21 with a SMB share direct from within proxmox /BigData.

 

Side note:

I then tried just straight up from unraid in ssh terminal: 

rsync -avP --dry-run ~/Movies [email protected]:~/BigData/Movies/
[email protected]'s password: 
sending incremental file list
rsync: link_stat "/root/Movies" failed: No such file or directory (2)
created directory /home/Apollo/BigData/Movies

sent 18 bytes  received 62 bytes  22.86 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00 (DRY RUN)
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1189) [sender=3.1.3]

not sure why it's looking at /root/Movies and trying to create a directory within proxmox in /home/Apollo/BigData/Movies when it's in the root of the system when I look at the terminal there.

 

 

 

Simply just trying to mass move from Unraid to a ZFS share 100TB

Ignore that, just figured out my own stupidity after another cup of coffee.

 

files are mounted in /disks and for some reason I was dyslexic.

 

rsync -av --progress --human-readable  /mnt/user/Movies/ /mnt/disks/PVE_BigData_Files/Movies/

rsync -av --progress --human-readable  /mnt/user/Movies/ /mnt/disks/PVE_BigData_Files/Movies/

works. now to let this run for a year

I learned rsync to an SMB share is godawful. As in, it "shouldn't be possible bad".

 

NFS is better, but I'm certain there's a better way to that. I get 4-5megabytes a sec over gigabit. Yuck.

 

-aP flag.
