definitely stay away from rsync on the readynas because it just doesnt have the ram or cpu to handle a massive rsync. as stated about, your timeout looks to be too low. raise that number and good luck. On Tue, May 6, 2008 at 7:37 AM, Les Mikesell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Leandro Tracchia wr

The ReadyNAS has CIFS,NFS, and Rsync capability. For the moment I am just mounting the ReadyNAS NFS share onto the Backuppc server. The Backuppc server is using rsyncd to connect to the file server, which is a windows xp machine. Backuppc server has the following specs: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual

does the ReadyNAS have rsync or are you just mounting up the NFS share locally? If you are trying to use rsync then I suspect that the ReadyNAS doesn't have enough RAM. Also, how much RAM does your system have? and are you using rsync? rsync eats up RAM like candy when you have a high file count

well it turns out the terastation does not even support NFS, however it does support Windows shares.

decided to look this up! smb1 does not support hardlinks but cifs and smb2 do. cifs is essentially smb1.1 or something which smb2 is a microsoft rewrite of smb for vista and server2008. samba does support cifs which means that you may use hardlinks with samba. you can also skip samba and use th

This is true, samba does in fact support hard links but it is really just like another NFS! the filesystem on the other end of the cifs share must support hardlinks as samba is just the layer translating over the network. Samba can scale better than NFS also. I don't know if samba support hardlin
