I have successfully installed Openwrt and then the packages for hdd (like block-mount), packages for usb storage (like kmod-usb-storage) and rsync etc.
All working predictably. It has an internal 3.5 in 2TB hdd and has a seagate 4TB usb on its USB port and both formatted to EXT4. The 2 TB internal disk has 1.6TB of files that wished to keep a copy on USB drive for redundancy. So I issued following sync command:
cd /tmp
nohup rsync -avr /mnt/sda1/ /mnt/sdb1/
I usually follow this rsync with another identical / repeat of the same command to see that it does nothing and quickly finishes as my confirmation that the rsync was successful.
However, in this case, its going and repeating the entire file copy (all 1.6TB) again... and again after it was issued the third time.
Any idea, what is going on?
Much appreciate any thoughts.
