I thought my ol' friend 'rsync -av --delete source/ target'
would be the answer. However, for so much data it takes
forever to run this command just like it takes to do a whole
copy again.
What gives? Any way to speed it up?
Define "forever".
I can sync 165GB of data from an old Sun E250 in about 2 hours. I would
be *very* surprised if you are slower than that. I would expect
somewhere about an hour.
However, it sounds like you really need a SAN (storage area network)
with transactional semantics. Sorry, I don't know anything about the
open source implementations of that kind of stuff.
