I am trying to fast Rsync my Qnap NAS to my new TrueNAS via 10Gbe, but I do not get a connection via 10Gbe. Is there a way, where I can tell Rsync App, that it should use the 10GBe Connection rather then the 1Gbe default network? Rsync via 1GBe works just fine.
Sync via SMB works fine, but does not copy all data, so I’d prefer rsync over smb.
Any suggestions what would be the best way to brind my old Qnap-Nas data to my new TrueNAS? What am I missing?
FYI I use a point to point, direct 10Gbe connection.
depends on how your truenas app is configured and what your general apps settings are.
If your truenas box has multiple network adapter you’d have to specifiy which adapter your apps should use. By default the apps listen to 0.0.0.0 (listen to any interface) which could lead to truenas using a 1gb nic instead of a 10gig. In that case you’d have to edit your general apps settings from 0.0.0.0 to the ip of your 10gb nic.
Edit: If you’re using smb you can also bind the smb service to the ip of your 10gig nic.
Well thanks for the reply, that sound plausible. I tried it (put apps IP to the 10Gbe NIC), but still not successfull to set up a connection via rsync.
I would prefer rsync over smb, as smb seems to have problems with syncing all data (symbolic links, etc.) properly.
