blocksync.py python3 bug

[shodanshok]

You are right, an issue remained when destination was a blockdev. I fixed it, let it try now.

[shodanshok]

I just commited a patch on the python3 branch to fix the issue, please let me know if it works.

[devZer0]

thanks very much!

unfortunately, still errors out with the same error

[devZer0]

i'm really sorry, but it still doesn't work

Don't be sorry, rather, thanks for your help!

This issue turned to be a rather fundamental problem with how python3 encodes string (compared to python2). I hope to have fixed it, can you try it now?

[devZer0]

i'm very happy that things moving forward !

it loooks good now and seems to work. i did not yet test for consistency/data validity, but restore works.

i observe slightly performance loss. the old version does about 255MB/s whereas the new one does not perform above 242MB/s. it was no real performance test, though... not an issue, just wanted to let you know.

thank you very much !

[shodanshok]

I'm glad to hear that it now works!

it loooks good now and seems to work. i did not yet test for consistency/data validity, but restore works.

Be sure to thoroughly test it, taking and comparing some hashes from both source and destination, before using it for anything valuable.

looks good, so far
