Re: Need to copy a 200GB directory

My muscle memory always puts the flags "-avz" (sometimes I even remember to add a P in there), so there must have been one point in time where you had to specify compression. Might still be the case. On Tue, Jun 27, 2017, 12:02 PM mark wrote: > My mistake. I wrote encryption

Re: Need to copy a 200GB directory

rsync doesn't encrypt if there's no remote, as in this case. To be pedantic, rsync to remotes uses ssh by default but it can use rsh which has no encryption. Some older versions of SSH allowed you to specify the encryption. I recall using XOR encryption for faster operation where security was

Re: Need to copy a 200GB directory

My mistake. I wrote encryption when I meant compression, as I belive rsync always compresses--but I could be mistaken about that, too! Mark On Jun 27, 2017 11:55 AM, "Tom Buskey" wrote: > rsync doesn't encrypt if there's no remote, as in this case. > > To be pedantic, rsync to

Re: Need to copy a 200GB directory

I typically use rsync instead of cp when I can. There can be issues (and there's too much below I know): lots of small files can slow things down because of the comparision (checksum, dates, names). zfs send/receive uses a different method for remote replication that avoids this. If you're on

Also sorry idk if there is an intro thread or anything, but I've been a lurker for a while this has been my first actual post I think. I don't know if I should reply all or just send my reply to the GNHLUG email address? Anyways just quickly, I'm Tony and I'm in ad tech. We use machine learning

No offense or anything but I find it amusing that one of the most active threads on this mailer has been about copying a bit of data :D On Tue, Jun 27, 2017 at 6:29 PM Matt Minuti wrote: > My muscle memory always puts the flags "-avz" (sometimes I even remember > to add a

Hello and Ad Tech

Hey guys, Apologies for hijacking the other thread to introduce myself. I just wanted to say hello and got a bit carried away. I haven't really participated in a mailing list beyond lurking. I'm from the seacoast area and work in Portsmouth. I know it is not particularly Linux-related but I work

Hi Anthony! Welcome! You can just reply to the list in general, but it doesn't hurt to reply-all You should always start a new topic with a new thread ;-). And never top post (unless you're me and using a phone) ~ Greg On Jun 27, 2017 8:00 PM, "R. Anthony Lomartire"
