How hard would it be to have rsync do the file recursion scan on both the source tree and the destination tree at the same time in parallel? Would that require a protocol change, or could just a program change be enough?
I have some very large directories I'd like to syncronize. Total time to scan through these millions of files is a substantial portion of an hour or even exceeds it. It just goes slower if these large critical time blocks have to be done sequentially. It would also be nice if rsync didn't have to collect the entire tree in RAM all at once, but instead, both source and destination could recurse their respective trees in sync with each other and copy, create, delete, as things go through that parallel recursion. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Phil Howard KA9WGN | http://linuxhomepage.com/ http://ham.org/ | | (first name) at ipal.net | http://phil.ipal.org/ http://ka9wgn.ham.org/ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
