rsync? #22

Closed pepa65 closed 9 years ago

pepa65 commented 9 years ago

It seems rsync doesn't really work, in that it always transfers the files, also if they are already there. Is this a problem with the Mega API, or in the implementation of MegaFuse?

sgregori commented 9 years ago

Rsync needs to be installed at 2 peers, when you mount a drive over SSHFS, CURLFTPFS, or MegaFS, the rsync will not work well because the 2 rsync daemons runs on same host and the archives are remotely and this isnt a good thing.

Rsync can perfectly be used between two "local" folders. IMHO, this is rather a matter of Mega not storing files' timestamps. Try again with rsync --ignore-times, or rsync --size-only. Either will only work if you're sure that any change to a file will change its size too, though…

pepa65 commented 9 years ago

Allright, the timestamps! that's a helpful suggestion, to do --ignore-times.

pepa65 commented 9 years ago

Reporting back: --ignore-times still causes full uploads here, and eventually leads to crashes. Using --size-only works well (apart from the fact that there is no guarantee here about the filesize being different when a file changes...). Both works fine as well. So from my experience here, --ignore-times is NOT recommended.
