Rsync over SSH - (40MB/s over 1GB NICs)

The fastest remote directory rsync over ssh archival I can muster (40MB/s over 1gb NICs)

This creates an archive that does the following:

rsync (Everyone seems to like -z, but it is much slower for me)

  • a: archive mode - rescursive, preserves owner, preserves permissions, preserves modification times, preserves group, copies symlinks as symlinks, preserves device files.
  • H: preserves hard-links
  • A: preserves ACLs

Vagrant re-import box from files on local system

If you find that vagrant box list somehow does not contain a box you previously had, you can sometimes add the box back if you still have the sources for it in ~/.vagrant.d/boxes.

$ cd ~/.vagrant.d/boxes/precise64/0/virtualbox/
$ tar czf ~/precise64.box .
$ vagrant box add precise64 ~/precise64.box
