Storage reading wrong

[wheelsca]

Thanks for all the help on my first Freenas post, now I have another question.

Trying to learn command line and rsync from one dataset to another. I used this command:
rsync -av --log-file=/mnt/Mount/rsync.log /mnt/Mount/Ccomputers/Edisk mnt/Mount/Ccomputers/TestRsync
It showed everything copying and the shell shows it all as successful. I can change to the directory and see the new directories, I can show directory usage and is shows as 938mb, which is right.

My question is why does the shell show the files but I can't see them on the TestRsync dataset usage and the folder shows empty with a Windows share.

I have attached a pic to show.

Thanks.
Ron

permissions issue? try ls -l from the CLI and see if all looks ok.

rsync -av --log-file=/mnt/Mount/rsync.log /mnt/Mount/Ccomputers/Edisk mnt/Mount/Ccomputers/TestRsync

Your problem is that you don't have a leading slash on the second path (the target).

Whatever the working directory was when you ran the command will have that structure under it.
