Re: Most likely OT: rsync to cifs mount (additional info)
Sorry I forgot to add that there are no symlinks in the directories being rsync'ed so
that is not an issue here.
Best wishes,

Hi,
I am at my wits end with this, so I thought I would post here to see if anyone had any
thoughts. The only connection with F21 (updated in all installed components) is that
everything is on a F21 machine.
So, I have a cifs share mounted onto /mnt/space using the usual mount.cifs option with
sec=ntlmv2.
I wanted to copy the following directory (kmeans) onto /mnt/space -- because I wanted to
preserve permissions and structure, I tried rsync:
rsync -avSz --delete --progress kmeans/. /mnt/space/kmnsinit
So here is the problem:
The original directory has size:
% du -sh kmeans
156G kmeans
But the copying has continued on and on with no sign of ending (and we are at 378GB).
% du -sh kmnsinit
378G kmnsinit
I also tried without the . after the kmeans/ in the rsync command (though not sure why it
would matter) but to no avail. (Same story, and note that it is not ending at 378G but
going on, and chances are will go on for some more.)
Is it possible that since all things Windoze are bad, the cifs puts stuff all over the
place and represents large files differently. Is it possible to however make it behave?
Does anyone have an explanation and solution for the above? I apologize again for the
largely OT nature of this post.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
