I am attempting to set up rsync over ssh to transfer files from my Arch Linux box to my new FreeNAS box.
I had some difficulty setting up the rsync command, but I eventually succeeded. The first time I fired off the command, I saw a list of files being transferred, with an exit code = 0. Afterward, I immediately fired off the command again... I saw: "sending incremental file list", followed by a prompt, but no files were transferred. The exit code was 0, indicating that all the files were already on the destination.
However, I can't find them, so I'm not sure where the files actually went.
I can successfully ssh into the FreeNAS machine from the Arch box, using:
When I do this, it drops me into my home folder for my user account (not root). This is where I'm expecting rsync to put my new files.
System Dataset Pool = homeArchive
My home folder is the dataset: dakotta
Dataset permissions on dakotta: rwx for the owner, dakotta
After I ssh into the FreeNAS machine:
rsync command issued on my Arch box to transfer files from my 'temp' folder to the FreeNAS box at local IP address = 10.10.1.56
When the command finishes executing, the files are not located at: /mnt/homeArchive/dakotta. But I can't find them anywhere else either. I can move to the root folder, and start a search from there. The command succeeds, but finds only files that I have manually created... not any of the files that rsync was supposed to send.
Weird.
Is the rsync command actually failing?
Or are the files somewhere else?
As an aside, my wife keeps hearing a strange noise out by the rubbish bins. Maybe that's where they're going?
Cheers,
