I wanted to copy a folder with about 100 pics in it from a local drive to a network drive (mounted as /mnt/nas/). The command seemed to run successfully but when I checked afterwards there was nothing in to folder or anywhere that I could find related to the folder or the files inside. Below is the output and what command I used:
Code:
root@Linux_box:/#rsync -avzh /home/user/ext1tb/gti/ /mnt/nas/docs/ext1tb\ backup/gti/
sending incremental file list
./
f_01ba84
f_01ba8f
..
..
..
..
f_01bc63
sent 6.65M bytes received 1.73K bytes 4.44M bytes/sec
total size is 6.93M speedup is 1.04
This happened earlier with a couple of transfers and I was unable to track the files as well.
I thought I would do a test so I created a temp folder "temp" and put a 2gb file (.zip file) in it and ran the following:
Code:
rsync -avzh /home/user/ext1tb/temp/ /mnt/nas/docs/ext1tb\ backup/
Now I thought it would make a folder or copy a file somewhere into the destination folder but neither showed up - there wasn't any change on the destination drive but the computer's HDD light was going the whole time. Here is the output of the command:
Code:
root@Linux_box:/#rsync -avzh /home/user/ext1tb/temp/ /mnt/nas/docs/ext1tb\ backup/
sending incremental file list
./
emails.zip
sent 1.72G bytes received 38 bytes 22.53M bytes/sec
total size is 1.72G speedup is 1.00
It seems that I am missing some drive space on the source drive for the backups I have been making. IDK if this rsync has anything to do with this, but I'm wondering if it is copying data to a "lost" area some how. When I do a "du" and "df" command all the numbers check out but when I open the folder/drive in dolphin, highlight the folders/files - select properties-, I get it showing say 820GB but the drive is showing as 96% full (which doesn't = 820GB). The drive is formatted in NTFS.
Am I missing something simple here, I know Linux can be a little touchy with syntax, but I did get what seemed to be successful messages after execution. Also the missing drive space is questionable and may/may-not be related.
