Do you mean that it is reading every file or that it is actually copying them? It could be the fault of the NFS server or the client. Many people use rsync on NFS mounted dirs without problems. It is better to run on local dirs but some NFS servers don't have the resources to support rsync. If you must rsync on a NFS mount use the --whole-file option. -- ________________________________________________________________ J.W.
