rsync to MegaFuse directory about megafuse HOT 2 OPEN

Indeed, in my experience, rsync does not work with Megafuse. However, rsync is not efficient over mounted filesystems because then it has to download every byte (unless it is asked to only compare mtime and size). Normal rsync operation is achieved with access to the remote server, either directly using the rsync protocol, or through an SSH connection, neither of which is provided by Mega.

Hello,
I am seeing the same problems with rsync. Your link does not seem to show that rsync does not work with Megafuse? rsync, even with local files (including mounted filesystems) will only compare the checksum (read every byte) if -c is specified, from man rsync: "-c, --checksum skip based on checksum, not mod-time & size". I'm using rsync -a /home/owner/tmp/Pictures/ /mega/Pictures
From the rsync man page introduction: "Rsync finds files that need to be transferred using a "quick check" algorithm (by default) that looks for files that have changed in size or in last-modified time."

I can replicate the problem:

On an empty Mega account, with just the intrduction .pdf file:

MegaFuse -c /home/owner/.megafuse.conf 2>&1 | tee /tmp/MegaFuse.log

conf and log files attached.

megafuse.conf.zip
MegaFuse.log

Then rsync -a /home/owner/tmp/Pictures/ /mega/Pictures 2>&1 | tee /tmp/rsync.log in another window, log attached.

rsync.log

/home/owner/tmp/Pictures/ is zipped and attached.
Pictures.zip

Please look into this problem as rsync and mega would be a fantastic backup solution.

Yours Sincerely,

Gene Thomas.
