First, I recommend:
(cd sourcedir; tar cf - .) | (cd destdir; tar xvf -)
Second, I recommend obtaining extra-length tickets. If you are using
MIT Kerberos, then use the -l option to kinit to request extra-long
tickets. If you are using klog, then use the -lifetime to specify an
extra-long lifetime..
Third, I recommend, if possible, to separate the 1.5 Gig into separate
volumes. This might be done using a source tree vs. build tree, or
something like that.
I hope this helps.
