    Copying 10 Million Thumbs, Fuck!

    Here's an unexpected mind fuck... 10 million thumbs, 500 gigs, from one drive to another on the same server... estimated time, 4 fucking days!

    would have been much quicker to zip them then transfer the zip.

    For coding work - hit me up on andy // borkedcoder // com
    (consider figuring out the email as test #1)

      i tried that first, copied all in just a few hours, but then needed 9 days to extract.. so i deleted the gzip and started over with copy

        Yep - You can set with no compression.

          my second attempt has been running 13 hours now.. no compression sounds interesting, but not sure if the performance gain will be worth starting over now.. with compression was 9 days to extract.. without, maybe half? which would be the same as copy then...

            WTF, one of your thumbs is as big as 50MB? Normally a thumb is below 10kB.

              160px × 120px, average 15 KB each.. in this case it's not the size, it's the number.

                My calculation: 500GB/10M=50MB

                  That would be 500TBs - I think.....

                    I'm sure you're in unix, but on the off chance, I'll leave this here

                      (500*10^9)/(10*10^6)=(500*10^3)/(10)=(50*10^3)/(1)=50kb

                        i'm guesstimating... roughly 500k sets of 20 thumbs each, filled a 500gb drive 92%.. some thumbs are 10kb, some are 35kb.. and roughly 10-million of them..

                        edit.. was off by 172,000 set.. total is 672k sets for 20
