in which case you get to start all over again. That might actually be your fastest option as a file transfer of that size, over that connection, might not copy correctly. (shrug)Īssuming this is a one time copy, I don't suppose its possible to just copy the file to a CD (or other media) and overnight it to the destination is there? I guess I'll take it up with the folks who run our facilities the link is labeled as a MPLS/Ethernet 10MB link. it may be the link afterall :( See my tests below. I've seen the tar+netcat tunnel tip, but my understanding is that it is only good for LOTS of small files an doesn't update you when the file is effectively finished transferring.īefore I resort to shipping a hard drive, does anyone have any good input? I've followed different tcp tuning guides I've found via google to no avail (maybe I'm reading the wrong guides, got a good one?). I am getting about 20-30Kb/s with rsync or scp which fluctates between 200-300 hours.Īt the moment it is a relatively quiet link as the second data center is not yet active and I have gotten excellent speeds from small file transfers.

I'm attempting to copy a 75 gigabyte tgz (mysql lvm snapshot) from a Linux server in our LA data center to another Linux server in our NY data center over a 10MB link.
