What happens after copy completes

Help and Support
1

This is more of a curiosity question. Here is the rclone copy command:

rclone copy /Volumes/Source /Volumes/netapp-Source --transfers 8 -P --no-check-dest --log-file ./copy.(date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M").log --ignore-checksum --exclude-from ./excludefiles.txt --create-empty-src-dirs --links

The copy appears to have completed, and now no files are being copied but the time keeps increasing. This has been going on for at least an hour.

Transferred: 784.405T / 784.405 TBytes, 100%, 1.422 GBytes/s, ETA 0s
Errors: 2845 (retrying may help)
Transferred: 20798815 / 20798815, 100%
Elapsed time: 159h7m8.0s

The errors happened early on and are just permissions on one folder. Just curious what it might be doing.

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I'm not having a problem, just curious about what rclone might be doing after it is done copying

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

[pcarlson2@usback036 ~]$ rclone version
2025/05/19 16:29:38 NOTICE: Config file "/home/pcarlson2/.config/rclone/rclone.conf" not found - using defaults
rclone v1.55.1-DEV
- os/type: linux

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

None, these are two mounted volumes. Source is fiber channel 100G mounted to quantum, Dest is 100G mount to netapp nfs volume

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone copy /Volumes/Source /Volumes/netapp-Source --transfers 8 -P --no-check-dest --log-file ./copy.`(date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M")`.log --ignore-checksum --exclude-from ./excludefiles.txt  --create-empty-src-dirs --links

Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.

no config to share

A log from the command that you were trying to run with the -vv flag

unable to provide log since one was not started and I am not going to restart a 160h copy job

that is a 4+ years old, custom compiled, dev version of rclone from an out of date repository.

  1. uninstall
  2. https://rclone.org/install/#script-installation
  3. test again

sorry, I am unable to do that. This is an older machine that normally runs antiquated tape backup I am restricted to using RH repos

Is there not a basic known flow? ie:
1: checkers find and build backlog of files to copy
2: in parallel, files are copied
when backlog is 0 and last file is copied
3: checkers go back and check again for new files ??
3: some other function is performed ??
