Grsync test - 2010-02-06 02

Date: 2010-02-06

Conducted by: Glenn

Purpose/Goal
Testing speed of duplication between external hdds over USB2.0 connection using Grsync (GUI interface for rsync) to manage the copying. Repeat of previous test Grsync test - 2010-02-06_01, transfering a greater number of files

Hardware/Software

 * Grsync
 * Intel PC running Ubuntu 9.10
 * Sans Digital 2-bay external hdd mount connected over USB 2.0
 * 2x NTFS formatted hdds

Procedure

 * 1) Run grsync: Applications>System Tools>Grsync
 * 2) Select source: /media/NTFS_M_01/Q_test/DIGITIZED/TIFF/ [contains 63,485 .tif image files; 515.8GB]
 * 3) Select destination: /media/NTFS_M_02/received/DIGITIZED/TIFF/
 * 4) select options:
 * 5) preserve time
 * 6) verbose
 * 7) show transfer in progress
 * 8) always checksum
 * 9) Execute transfer

Results
Begin 2010-02-08 14:54 Grsync ran for 25 seconds before stopping *** Launching RSYNC command: rsync -r -t -v --progress -c /media/NTFS_M_01/Q_test/DIGITIZED/TIFF/ /media/NTFS_M_02/received/DIGITIZED/TIFF/ sending incremental file list rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes to socket [sender]: Broken pipe (32) rsync: mkdir "/media/NTFS_M_02/received/DIGITIZED/TIFF" failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at main.c(594) [receiver=3.0.6] rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (9 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(600) [sender=3.0.6]

The specified destination directory must already exist - Grsync will not create it.

Try test again after creating /media/NTFS_M_02/received/DIGITIZED/TIFF/ ; begin transfer at 2010-02-08 15:00


 * transfer successful
 * transfered 515.8GB [63,485 files] in 991:15 (16:31:15)
 * transfer rate ~.52 GB/minute
