Hey folks. I have a machine that I use as an intermediary to rsync between a NAS in another building (the users there have poor bandwidth and need local storage) and the our Netapp located in our Datacenter. I get lots of the "rsync: failed to set times on..." errors, and files which have already been transferred just try to sync again anyway.
These are the mount options that I use for both sides: mount -t cifs -o credentials=/root/.synccreds //nasdevice/folder /nas mount -t cifs -o credentials=/root/.synccreds //netapp/folder /netapp The ".synccreds" file has the credentials of an Active Directory Domain Admin account, which has "Full Control" on both the NAS and the Netapp. Here is the command that I run to do the rsync: rsync -rvt --delete --progress /nas/ /netapp/ Running rsync with "-i" shows that the files are transferring because of timestamp differences. I tried the "-c" option in place of the "-t", but the server doing the sync just hung there for literally two days without anything transferring and no output. I realize that the -c option is slower, but yikes! Any thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks, Bill D.
