It depends on what version of rsync you're using. Older versions would allocate an additional file list for --delete, and another for -H, so memory use is much more efficient in a modern version. Also, if your OS doesn't use copy-on-write memory when the receiver forks the generator, you'll see a doubling of the memory requirements on the receiving side. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
