Hi, I am running rsync version 2.5.7 (stock distro on redhat linux, ES and 9) to rsync a directory with ~300k files in it from a machine on a 10Mbit internet tap to a machine with a 100Mbit internet tap. The problem is that I am only getting about 500Kbps during the transfer. I have tested link speed by scping a file between the two systems, performance was approximately 7.5Mbit/sec. Ping time between the two locations is about 2.5 ms (only 20 miles apart)
This is obviously a problem. I have also tried rsyncing just a few files (say 400) to rule out problems related to huge file lists, however I had the same problem. Is this a known problem? Am I missing something really obvious? I have tried testing drive performance in each machine and have found it to be acceptable. The line that I am using to do the rsync is the following: rsync -avvu --exclude-from=/root/sync_list.exclude --delete -e ssh --stats /data/ dest:/data/ Any idea? -Andrew -- Andrew E.
