The script is using 'cp -a', which also preserves the timestamps. So file timestamps are ok, but directory timestamps get updated by cp and mv. And that's ok from my point of view. The main concern is data integrity. There are 20TB left to be transferred from the old pool, and part of this data is currently in active use (including being overwritten in place). If write access to an opened file happens while it is being transfered, the changes to that file might be lost. We can coordinate the remaining transfers with the affected users, if no other way exists. Regards, Burkhard |
