Geo Replication fails to sync initial set of files - execution of "rsync" failed with E2BIG (Argument list too long)

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • The source area has 2,661,274 files. Currently the sync to the destination has replicated 1,953,788 files, it has remained on this figure for the last five hours and the replication in total has been running for ~18 hours ( all of these files are very small by the way and the geo-replicate is replicating to a gluster cluster on the same subnet ).
