I'm trying to upload files to Azure blob storage using azcopy on Debian Jessie and I want to do that in a parallel manner (many azcopy instances in the same time). Currently it's failing with
An error occurred while reading the restart journal from "/root/Microsoft/Azure/AzCopy". Detailed error: The process cannot access the file '/root/Microsoft/Azure/AzCopy/AzCopyCheckpoint.jnl' because it is being used by another process.
According to the docs there's supposed to be /Z:[journal-file-folder] flag to specify different journal path, but that doesn't work on Linux, fails with
The syntax of the command is incorrect. Unrecognized command or argument
I've tried all the variations I could think of, but no luck. Any ideas?
Per document here, please use --resume option to specify a custom location for the journal file.
If you want to specify a custom location for the journal file:
azcopy \
--source /mnt/myfiles \
--destination https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer \
--dest-key key \
--resume "/mnt/myjournal"
