I have installed a second hard drive on my computer (mounted as /media/<my-user-name>/hd2) with one partition only. I'd like to move my home folder on this new drive.
Being logged on my admin session, I'm following the procedure explained in this answer of the question How can i move an encrypted home directory to another partition?.

So I successively entered following commands in my terminal:

ecryptfs-umount-private
chown $USER /media/<my-user-name>/hd2/$USER
sudo rsync -aP --progress --stats $HOME/.Private $HOME/.ecryptfs /media/<my-user-name>/hd2/$USER

However, I got this message:

[sudo] password for <my-user-name>: 
sending incremental file list

Number of files: 2 (link: 2)
Number of created files: 0
Number of deleted files: 0
Number of regular files transferred: 0

Total transferred file size: 0 bytes
Literal data: 0 bytes
Matched data: 0 bytes
File list size: 0
File list generation time: 0.001 seconds
File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds
Total bytes sent: 134
Total bytes received: 12

sent 134 bytes  received 12 bytes  292.00 bytes/sec
total size is 57  speedup is 0.39

Since I've 30+ Gio data in my home directory, it seems they have not been copied on the new drive.

However, I don't know what I'm not doing correctly. Could you please help me?

  • Never used rsync but I wonder If there should be 1 source directory and 1 target directory. You appear to have 2 source directories? – WinEunuuchs2Unix Sep 15 '16 at 17:31
  • The same happens when entering sudo rsync -aP --progress --stats $HOME/.Private /media/ebo/hd2/$USER && sudo rsync -aP --progress --stats $HOME/.ecryptfs /media/ebo/hd2/$USER... – ebosi Sep 16 '16 at 06:41
