Hello, I'm trying to use rsync to synchronize several gigabytes of data between Windows XP and Linux, on 100mbps LAN. My first try was to run rsync server on Linux, and use rsync on XP to pull the data. However the performance is REALLY bad... When I simply copy the file in explorer, using samba on Linux, I get 10x speed increase. I thought it's a problem of rsync protocol, but when I mount smbfs share from XP on Linux, and run rsync in local mode, it performs adequately.
So, the question is, why rsync is so slow in client/server mode, and is there anything I can do about it? There are workarounds, of course, but I don't want to introduce the additional overhead of smb or any other additional protocol for that matter (like ssh, etc) Thanks in advance, Haim Gelfenbeyn. ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
