You could time the initial file-scan section using a stop-watch (use the options "-v --progress" and it will tell you when it is done scanning the files and how many there were). > I would like to synchronize terrabytes of data but I'm afraid the scanning > process will take a _very_ long time. The count of the files is the important stat, and yes, it can take a very long time. If the filesystem data is cached in memory (by the OS), it will be fairly fast, otherwise it will do a lot of disk I/O. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
