"rsync: No match." when trying rsync over ssh session.

[Vincent Jansen]

Hello,
Okey, ive done actions like this in the past under freenas but now im using truenas, this is no longer working for me.
I installed a new pool and want to move my data from an old pool to a new one.
So I want to ssh into my truenas and do an Rsync command. Looks like this:

rsync -av --append --progress /mnt/RaidzDisk4/Studie14d/* /mnt/RaidzDisk1/RaidzDisk1/Studie14a

Disk 4 is the old Disk 1 is the new.
when I try to run this I get the following and I have no clue why.

root@Collection14:/ # rsync -av --append --progress /mnt/RaidzDisk4/Studie14d/* /mnt/RaidzDisk1/RaidzDisk1/Studie14a
rsync: No match.

Why is this not working?

p.s. the RaidzDisk1/RaidzDisk1 is because truenas does not allow me to change permissions of the main pool folder.

...which is because you shouldn't, nor should you attempt to share the main pool directory.

Why is this not working?

What if you give the full path for rsync? /usr/bin/rsync ...

You don't use "*" with RSync. It is also screwy if you have a "/" on on side and not on the other.

So this is probably what you meant, (but don't hold me responsible);
rsync -aAHSXv --append --progress /mnt/RaidzDisk4/Studie14d/ /mnt/RaidzDisk1/RaidzDisk1/Studie14a/

"no match" is printed by the shell if it cannot expand a glob. Most likely "/mnt/RaidzDisk4/Studie14d/*" does not in fact point to any files.

Okay.

very strange, Rsync is not in the bin directory.

 

[Vincent Jansen]

Okay.

I can browse to both directories.

well its filled with files and folders. I could try with another folder, but so far I get this error on everything.

 

[Patrick M. Hausen]

If you put it in quotes, it will not be expanded and there is probably no file named "*". Overlooked that one at first. Just drop the "*", it's not necessary.

/usr/local/bin on FreeBSD ...
