Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting rsync from partition to partition fastest Post 302475248 by jaysunn on Saturday 27th of November 2010 12:14:15 PM

@danmero,

Are you suggesting. I use:

Code:
cp -r /path/to/data /path/to/data2

I was worried that the shear amount of data would not work well with cp command.

Note that this is a GFS2 redhat filesystem on 2 separate partitions.
I am getting great speeds now with the rsync - av command.

Not there is no backup for this data so I wish to be as careful as possible.
