I'm about to start migrating a lot of files on UFS filesystems from a Solaris 9
server to a new server running Solaris 10 (u3) with ZFS (a Thumper). Now...
What's the "best" way to move all these files? Should one use Solaris tar,
Solaris cpio, ufsdump/ufsrestore, rsync or what?
I currently use Solaris tar like this:
cd $DIR && tar cpE@f - . | rsh $HOST "cd $NEWDIR && tar xpE@f -"
ufsdump/ufsrestore doesn't restore the ACLs so that doesn't work, same with
rsync.
cpio will fail with filenames with strange characters (since Solaris cpio
doesn't support the "print0/0" options from Gnu find/cpio). Considering that
this is some
4TB of files to move - what other alternatives are there?
Is there some faster alternative to "rsh" - I wonder if a tool that was
designed for
interactive communications really is suited for multi-terabyte data transfers
:-)
Anyway - how did you convert your large filesystems?
/Eagerly awaiting ZFS ACL support in Samba and rsync...
