Description Venky Shankar 2013-11-02 14:40:11 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1025966 +++

Description of problem:
tar+ssh as a data synchronization engine (optional; rsync is the default)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mainline

Comment 2 M S Vishwanath Bhat 2013-11-08 10:45:21 UTC

This option is not working.

Tested with Version: glusterfs-3.4.0.39rhs-1.el6rhs.x86_64 

I created 2 million files each of which are 500KB and even after 1 day and 20+ hours only 5000+ files are synced. Rest are not being synced.

Comment 3 M S Vishwanath Bhat 2013-11-11 16:21:42 UTC

We have couple of bugs with this option and they are being tracked by different buzilla bugs. So moving this bug to verified.

Now there is an option to sync the files through tar+ssh instead of rsync which used by default.
