cron job: rsync not working

[fisheater]

Hi all,

Problem: cron job not working.

Background: currently using rsync as a workaround to back up my RAIDz to a second RAIDz within the same PC tower. In the future, would like to setup replication via GUI (or cron job) to replace rsync.

Current command, set up via GUI:

Code:

00 06 Everyday Every month Everyday root rsync -a --delete /mnt/FreeNASa/ /mnt/FreeNASa2

Trouble shooting this I've:

1. Confirmed that this command works via the command line on my FN box.

Code:

rsync -a --delete /mnt/FreeNASa/ /mnt/FreeNASa2

2. Put test files on FreeNASa to see if they transfer to FreeNASa2 – they don't.
3. Restarted the system.

Things I am not sure about:
1. Does this need to be run at another user? Currently I selected root.
2. If I understand the rsync syntax, this is to run at 06:00 every day of every week of every month.

Thanks for your consideration.

FE!

Your sig says you're still running Beta4, try upgrading to 8.0.2-RELEASE, as your cron command works for me.
