Very Very Slow Sync

Hi, I’m giving EP a go before I jump in a buy a couple of the new SC6000’s. The sync to my USB is unusable, a copy that should take 36 seconds is taking multiple hours. Some more details:

I manage my music in iTunes, the music folder is linked to my NAS server so really to iTunes the path is /Volumes/music which maps to a remote folder in my NAS. The Mac and NAS are connected via my home ethernet (1Gb). I’ve included a stat output of how quickly rsync copies it from the NAS to my USB 3.0. Note that rysnc is also doing a consistency check post copy.

A transfer speed of 59MB/Sec. Why does EP take hours to do this same copy? Any ideas or anything in the settings I need to change?

I don’t think it’ll NAS yet

Or maybe it just doesn’t like Joey N any more lol

No official NAS support yet. Music has to be on your local drive. Fact that you seem to be getting a trickle means it may be coming soon.

There is a feature request for it you can add your vote and your voice

I don’t need native NAS support with remote connections, I’ve mapped the mount point so iTunes sees file://blah/blah/blah.

I like to understand what it’s doing, that way I could fix it.

I don’t believe that EP was designed to work with NAS systems. EP has always worked efficient for me when using external drives connected via USB (both 2.0 & 3.0). Your best best to copy your music from your NAS direct to a USB. Then work with that USB in Engine Prime.
