Rsync slow as heck for everyone else???
I'm running rsync with a unix box on the same gigabit switch and it is ridiculously slow. So severely slow that it copied 200ish MB in about 3 hours. That's pretty harsh. Any ideas? Chris Green
You do realize that both sides have to check every directory for changes.
Then any file that is different has to be block checked, for which part has changed. MP3
files probably don't ever change, so this part should not be an issue.
I suspect that 244GBs would take a while to do the directory scan. 51,000 files sounds
like a lot, if put in a single or few directories.
Did make a reasonable limit on each directory? (Like per Artist? Or per Album?)
I use "rsync" on Unix, (Solaris SPARC & x86, and Linux x86), for my backups to my ReadyNAS. Works okay, but my largest file system is 10GB. (I do it by file system, so
I can generate a nice log file.)
