RHEL 5.6 Slow rsync to NFS array
Hi All,
I have RHEL 5.6 with a 70GB local directory of Web content. Images, PHP scripts etc.
I need to copy all this content to an NFS array thats mounted on the RHEL server.
I did a baseline cp to copy the content one week ago. Since my baseline copy the local directory has grown by 8GB.
Now I am using the below rsync command to run an incremental copy of all the new content.
rsync -avz --stats <source> <destination>
Rsync has been running for 2 days now and and it only appears to have copied about 2GB.
Is there a faster way I can do the copy? I seriously need to sync this content and I can't wait a week for it to complete.
Can someone please help me here?
I'll provide whatever info you need.
Thanks,

Hi,
Following my last post I've mounted the remote server on my local server. However copying files from this mounted server is increadbily slow. If I copy files using rcp it's very fast so I assume there must be a setting somewhere?
Any help appreicated.

Hi guys,
I am trying something. I wrote a simple shell program to test something where continuous while loop writes on a file over the nfs. The time taken to write "hello" 3000 times take about 10 sec which is not right. Ideally it should take fraction of seconds. If I write on the local disk, it... (1 Reply)

nfsconfig
nfsconfig(8) System Manager's Manual nfsconfig(8)
NAME
nfsconfig - Launches the SysMan Menu at the Network File System Configuration (NFS) level, where you can configure a system as an NFS
server or as an NFS client
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/nfsconfig
/usr/sbin/sysman nfs
DESCRIPTION
The NFS Configuration section of SysMan Menu is used by the System Administrator or the UNIX system manager to manage NFS configuration
issues.
It allows the system to be configured as an NFS server (to make its file systems available to remote machines), or as an NFS client (to
mount remote file systems).
Before using nfsconfig, be sure to configure Network Interfaces using the Network Configuration section of the SysMan menu.
You can configure your system as an NFS Server, an NFS Client, or both. However, if the Network Interfaces are down, the following daemons
will not start: nfsd, pcnfsd, proplistd, mountd, and automountd.
Use nfsconfig to do the following: Manage the configuration of the system as an NFS server. You can only configure your system as an NFS
server if the NFS Server option is built into the kernel. Manage the configuration of the system as client-only system Specify file sys-
tems to be mounted or exported Start and stop the NFS daemons
Online Help:
Online help is available for the NFS dialog boxes. You can get help by selecting the Help button on any dialog box.
