trying to transfer a large (13 GB) folder via USB to my phone with adb push. if I try singular, smaller files they go through, pushing the whole folder hangs adb and then gets OOM killed.
adb pull from phone #1 worked without issues, pushing it to phone #2 starts eating up all RAM (16 GB) and then gets killed. so I created a 16 GB swap file, swapon, push - same thing, eats up all RAM, then all swap, then OOM manager kills konsole. no files are created on the phone.
transferring via MTP isn’t viable, it’s like 700 bytes/sec.
tried everything suggested here.
edit: tried adb over wifi, different terminal, same deal.
My guess it is zip’ping the directory in memory to send it as single zip file, hence use a lot of memory. Better to zip/tar directory yourself and send that file over.
possible. I tried it at one point with the
-Zoption, which should disable compression but no change, same result.
