Re: Long time needed for "Building file list" Any suggestions ?

[Jim Salter]

But why would you want to use rsync if you've already built your file 
list?  Seems kinda pointless... I mean if it got touched, you definitely 
want to copy it, so, yeah. =)

Good idea
find / -ctime -1h |rsync -a --files-from=- / destination
No perl needed.  You might want mtime instead, though.

This does bring up one point though. Is there any way to optimize file
list building? It seems like that turns into a huge bottleneck in the
"lots of files" situation.


If you already know you're working with a mirror on the other end, and 
you know when your last sync was, and you're a moderately decent Perl 
hacker, you can pretty easily hack together a script that will take the 
output of something like

find / -ctime -1h
