Those are old numbers for older versions. Rsync now only allocates a single extra directory at a time for any of the --delete options (and --delete-during saves a lot of disk I/O for large file sets). The -H option now allocates memory based on how many hard-linked files there are, and is still more memory efficient than it used to be even if all files are found to be hard-linked. (I don't have an estimated value of what it takes off hand.) ..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
