OK, so...
Ive been fighting with rsync trying to do a complete dump of 1 truenas machine to another (machine 2 is just a backup of machine 1). Machine 1 is being decommsioned and rebuilt (the drives are being reused, but going into a clean TrueNAS build with new hardware).
Anyway, im trying to rsync from Machine 1 to Machine 2. and for the live of me, its driving me crazy
if i try to run rsync (CLI) as root (no user) it prompts me for a password (which, apparently i dont have and cant create) (i read the documentation that says dont enter a password, but that doesnt help either. If i DO run as a user, rsync tries to copy my data into a /root/su foldet aht doesnt exist so rsync fails out with "no space left"
Here is the current command i am running.. WHAT am i doing wrong? (FYI, ive tried "--inplace" but that yields the same results
(run from TrueNAS shell)
rsync -avh --progress /mnt/Storage/Movies/1BR su -robert@192.168.2.191:/mnt/Storage/Movies/1BR
(this is just a test to copy 1 directory. target machine is 192.168.2.191. Pool is named Storage. NFS share is enabled as is SMB (though, that shouldnt matter.)
