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

Apologies for resurecting this post but has this issue been addressed in firmware (or can it)?
I realise rsync is fairly CPU hungry so the ReadyNAS isn't really geared for its use to begin with, especially when using a base NV+ with 256MB but I have a production box (NetApp FAS2020) that is based on FreeBSD and have been seeing fairly poor performance when trying to rsync from it. NFS performance isn't too bad at all, presumably because of the lower overheads.
Grateful for an update if there is one :)
Many thanks,
Mike
