Well what I did after my last post was recompiling rsync with different optimisation options, and also with all the optimisations disabled (-O0). the directory tree that is being synchronised is a so-called gentoo linux's 'portage', consisting of lots of directories (~14k) and files (~68k), most of which are pretty small (<5k) whats further interesting, that after todays update of the tree from the upstream server, all of the sudden i can not reproduce described behaviour anymore... is it possible that it was something in the tree causing rsync to act so weird ? regards, terry -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
