RSYNC TO EXFAT DRIVE
These options are friendly to sync to/from an ExFAT drive:
1 | rsync -vrltD --progress --stats /source/a/ /dest/a |
-vrltD
options from -a friendly with EXFAT.
non-ExFAT rsync:
If one uses the standard rsync options like:
1 | rsync -a |
they don’t work with an EXFAT drive. You’ll get errors like:
1 | RSYNC: MKSTEMP … FAILED: FUNCTION NOT IMPLEMENTED (38) |
because EXFAT doesn’t understand permissions, owners, or groups.
RSYNC PROGRESS INDICATOR
In general, rsync progress can be observed on a per-file basis using commands starting with:
1 | rsync -av --progress |
Overall rsync progress can be observed by:
1 | rsync -a --info=progress2 |
