May be a little bit off topic, but this gave me hard laugh: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/24/sysadmin_file_tools/ Windows admins use a virtualized CentOS machine to copy files because their own tools are not able to handle copying a bigger amount of data. :) Cheers, Timo
Thank you *SO* much! I needed some real world evidence to prove that syncing large amounts of data across windows is a PITA! I'm currently doing something so similar! And I use linux to do it, and no one can understand why. That link has been printed, and strategically left on someones desk, with a post-it note sayin - This is why I use linux :) -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of Timo Schoeler Sent: 24 September 2010 14:23 To: CentOS mailing list Subject: [CentOS] In the press, once again May be a little bit off topic, but this gave me hard laugh: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/24/sysadmin_file_tools/ Windows admins use a virtualized CentOS machine to copy files because their own tools are not able to handle copying a bigger amount of data. :) Cheers, Timo _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

His fallback is using cp which I found utterly incomprehensible. -- Hakan (m1fcj) - http://www.hititgunesi.org

It was funny, but it would have been more efficient to use tar over netcat instead of CP or rsync to initially populate the directory. It would be a steady data stream to the network and wouldn't beat up on the file system as bad as rsync would. Good read none the less. :) ----- Original Message ----- | May be a little bit off topic, but this gave me hard laugh: | | http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/24/sysadmin_file_tools/ | | Windows admins use a virtualized CentOS machine to copy files because | their own tools are not able to handle copying a bigger amount of | data. :) | | Cheers, | | Timo | _______________________________________________ | CentOS mailing list | CentOS at centos.org | http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos -- -- James A.
