Hi, The number of files we are trying to mirror is approximately: 100 000 and growing.
The version of RSYNC are as follows: - On HPUX : 2.5.6 (client) - On Redhat : 2.5.4 (server) The kernel version of the Redhat server is: 2.4.18-3 The amount of physical memory on the Redhat server is: 512m The rsync server and client do not appear to be under much of a load when performing this rsync operation. I have tried using rsync without using compression, but unfortunaly this did not correct the problem. I am incorrect in saying that rsync freezes, I have identified it does not actualy freeze it just slows down incredibly ( +- 5kb per second transfer speed), it just appeared to freeze. With a smaler amount of files rsync works perfectly between my HP and Linux box. Im not sure why rsync slows down to such a degree, do you think playing with the socket options could have a possitive affect ? Thanks, Stanton.
