I'm running rsync via ssh on two machines connected with 100 Mbit/s Ethernet cards (at high speed) via a Linksys switch. It's all right here in a single closet. I'm sending large files (initial transfer, nothing preexists on the destination machine) and seeing transfer rates in the 2 Mbit/s range. The CPUs on both machines are more than 90% idle, and I upped the --block-size to 256 kilobytes. Disk activity is very light. Fedora Core 1, i686.
I don't expect 100 Mbit/s by any means, but 2? Is this typical? What am I missing? Thanks a million! Marc Abel Powell, Ohio -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
