Repack | Filedot To Belarus
# On source server tar -I 'zstd -19' -cf filedot_repack.tar.zst /var/filedot/data rsync -avP filedot_repack.tar.zst user@belarus-host:/storage/
echo "Starting repack of $SOURCE_DIR" ssh source-server "tar -cf - $SOURCE_DIR | zstd -19 -T0" > $ARCHIVE_NAME
ssh source "tar -c SOURCE | zstd | ssh belarus 'zstd -d | tar -x'" Solution: Add --xattrs and --acls flags to tar: tar --xattrs --acls -cf - ... Issue 4: Slow repack due to many small files Solution: Use fpart to create a file list and repack in parallel: filedot to belarus repack
echo "Transferring to Belarus" rsync -avP $ARCHIVE_NAME $BELARUS_HOST:$BELARUS_PATH/
If you see over 100,000 files under 4KB each, a repack into archives is highly recommended. Step 2: Choose a Repack Strategy | Strategy | When to use | Example | |----------|-------------|---------| | Solid archive | Many small text files | tar --solid -caf archive.tar.zst | | Chunked archives | For parallel transfer | Split into 2GB .7z.001 files | | Filesystem image | Read-only distribution | mkfs.erofs or squashfs | | Database export | Filedot uses SQLite/MySQL | mysqldump + compress | Step 3: Perform the Repack (Local or In-Transit) Option A: Local repack then transfer # On source server tar -I 'zstd -19' -cf filedot_repack
Make the script executable and run it via cron for periodic repacks. Issue 1: “Connection reset” during large repack transfer Solution: Use rsync --partial --append-verify and split the repack into 5GB chunks using split -b 5G . Issue 2: Belarus host runs out of disk during extraction Solution: Perform a streaming extraction without storing the full archive:
echo "Filedot to Belarus repack completed." Issue 1: “Connection reset” during large repack transfer
