rsync to MegaFuse directory

[nono313]

Hi, I am trying to use rsync to copy over a folder to the directory mounted by MegaFuse. At first, the copy seems to work but after some files, rsync stops with an error regarding the first file it tried to copy : rsync: write failed on "/mnt/mega/.encfs6.xml": Operation not permitted (1) rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at receiver.c(393) [receiver=3.1.1]

At the same time, I have a lot of errors like this in the console where I started MegaFuse : searching node by path: /PATH file FILENAME not found in MEGA

Copying with a cp command seems to work fine so I am wondering why rsync is not working.

Thanks

Indeed, in my experience, rsync does not work with Megafuse. However, rsync is not efficient over mounted filesystems because then it has to download every byte (unless it is asked to only compare mtime and size). Normal rsync operation is achieved with access to the remote server, either directly using the rsync protocol, or through an SSH connection, neither of which is provided by Mega.

Hello, I am seeing the same problems with rsync. Your link does not seem to show that rsync does not work with Megafuse? rsync, even with local files (including mounted filesystems) will only compare the checksum (read every byte) if -c is specified, from man rsync: "-c, --checksum skip based on checksum, not mod-time & size". I'm using rsync -a /home/owner/tmp/Pictures/ /mega/Pictures From the rsync man page introduction: "Rsync finds files that need to be transferred using a "quick check" algorithm (by default) that looks for files that have changed in size or in last-modified time."

I can replicate the problem:

On an empty Mega account, with just the intrduction .pdf file:

MegaFuse -c /home/owner/.megafuse.conf 2>&1 | tee /tmp/MegaFuse.log

conf and log files attached.

megafuse.conf.zip MegaFuse.log

Then rsync -a /home/owner/tmp/Pictures/ /mega/Pictures 2>&1 | tee /tmp/rsync.log in another window, log attached.

rsync.log

/home/owner/tmp/Pictures/ is zipped and attached. Pictures.zip

Please look into this problem as rsync and mega would be a fantastic backup solution.

Yours Sincerely,

Gene Thomas.
