gfpcopy copies files in parallel.
When the source-path parameter is
a directory, files under the directory will be copied recursively.
When the destination-path does
not exist, the directory is created.
When the destination-path
exists, a directry of the same name as
the source-path is created
under the destination-path.
A set of source/destination hosts can be specified by a domain name and/or a hostlist file. When both a domain name and a hostlist file are specified, a set of hosts is determined by both conditions. When a set of source hosts is specified, only files stored on the source hosts are cppied. When a set of source hosts are specified, only files stored on the set of source hosts are copied. A set of hosts can be specified by a domain name and/or a host file. When both a domain name and a host file are specified, a set of hosts is determined by both conditions.
gfpcopy can also read the directory and get information of the entries in parallel.
source-path must be following format.
Files on HPSS cannot be copied.
gfarm:...is Gfarm URL.
file:...is URL of Local Filesystem.
ANYis relative path or absolute path of Local Filesystem. When the path is a mountpoint on gfarm2fs, files are copied without passing through the gfarm2fs.
destination-path
must be following format.
gfarm:...is Gfarm URL of a directory.
file:...is URL of a directory on Local Filesystem.
hpss:...
is URL of a directory on HPSS.
If A directory named the same as
the source-path exists under
this directory, the source-path
cannot be copied.
The difference of files cannot be copied to HPSS.
Relative path such as "hpss:". or "hpss:dir" can be also specified.
ANYis relative path or absolute path of Local Filesystem. When the path is a mountpoint on gfarm2fs, files are copied without passing through the gfarm2fs.
These are the options only for gfpcopy.
-b bufsizeSpecifies the buffer size to copy.
The default value is 64KiB (64 * 1024).
-fWith -f option, existing destination files will be overwritten when the size is different or the modification time (mtime) is different from the source file.
Without -f option, existing destination files will be overwritten when that they are older than the corresponding source files in the modification time.
-eSkips existing destination files in order to execute multiple gfpcopy simultaneously.
-kDoes not copy symbolic links.
To copy files under the directory recursively.
