Currently transferred data measurement? #27

Closed gamename closed 4 years ago

gamename commented 4 years ago

Hi Ganael,

Is there any way to figure out how much data has been transferred while FPSync is running?

For example, if I start a transfer of a 3TB volume, how can I tell after 3 hours how much has actually been sent?

Possible?

Thank you, -Tennis

Hello Tennis,

You can see the current transfer status by sending a SIGINFO to fpsync (on FreeBSD, this can be done by pressing CTRL-T. On GNU/Linux, you can use the kill command to send it). It will display the number of partitions transferred so far, the number of partitions remaining, and estimated remaining time. It will not display data volumes, I keep the idea in mind as this is related to issue #24

Best regards,

Ganael.

Hi Ganael,

I don't think GNU/Linux has a SIGINFO signal.

Hello Tennis,

signal(7) man page shows SIGINFO (29).

You can use it that way :

$ kill -29

Best regards,

Ganael.
