-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I just want to share my experience. I tried first with default rsync -avH which ended up in all files transferred but hardlink creation was not feasable due to rsync consuming loads of memory. So I tried the two scripts I mentioned in my first post which checked the hardlinks, wrote them into a file an the scond script took this file and recreated the hardlink on the destination. In theory. In practice the file was created in a reasonable amount of time (approx 12hrs) but when I started the recreation the script used up to 15GB of memory (RAM) and ran for 36hrs before I decided to stop this attempt.
In the end, Holger Parplies was so kind and send me a BackupPC related script which worked similary but in a much more efficient way. After 24hrs I had all my hardlinks created and the highest amount of memory consumed was "sort" which took nearly 3GB max. I guess Holger will release this script too public soon and announce here. So I have moved my pool (1.5TB of data) from ext3 to xfs now. Thanks and greetings!
