sync-to re-uploads all data; does not detect common blobs

[stephen322]

Whether using sftp or filesystem, with --times or without, sync-to wants to re-upload just about all data:

Looking for BLOBs to synchronize... Found 35608 BLOBs in the destination repository (822.3 GB) Found 34679 BLOBs (800.9 GB) in the source repository, 34340 (793.1 GB) to copy Found 0 BLOBs to delete (0 B), 339 in sync (7.8 GB)

Potentially related to #1145

Also, is sync-to functionally the same as rsync?

Hi. I've got the same issue. It looks like the "--times" doesn't apply it properly. I manage to fix this, using rsync command. You need to have the save split between both repos, then:

rsync -av --size-only --info=progress2 --delete --no-i-r SOURCE/ DEST/

This will fix times, and skip blog of the same name and size. It's pretty fast if you are indeed already sync.

Oh god, actually it make it worse. it ask to resync everything.

It looks like the option

--no-times --no-updates

works. so it doesn't reupload existing blog. I don't know if blog can be rewrited with the same name. if so, this is not a good way to sync.

I will use rsync until this get fixed.
