Hello,
I looking for a solution to display overall rsync progress on an LCD
display as a bargraph.
I have found 2 parameters:
--progress
This option tells rsync to print information
showing the
progress of the transfer. This gives a bored user
something to
watch. Implies --verbose if it wasn't already specified.
While rsync is transferring a regular file, it
updates a
progress line that looks like this:
782448 63% 110.64kB/s 0:00:04
But they are not showing the overall progress during the transfer what I
need.
All I would need is to get data out of rsync either the completed data's
bytes size or completed percentage what I could pipe into another C
program or a text file what my app could periodically read to construct
this graph.
One solution would be to run a dry rsync, get the number of overall
bytes going to be transferred and keep running du -s /datadir to get the
directories size where the rsync goes into but this is not feasible with
over 1TB data and lot of small files.
Thank you.
