Hello guys! I'm thinking about using rsync with multiple times --link-dest= specified in ccollect [0].
Now I'm wondering about the performance and memory usage: - How much more memory will rsync use for every --link-dest= parameter? - How heavy do you expect it to influence performance with every additional --link-dest= parameter? In general I think that rsync could either - use index_size memory for each --link-dest, doing full index of the directory - or just do stat() for each file in the source in each directory specified by --link-dest As stats() in general are not that heavy I expect it not to cost much additional time, but on the other hand, stat()ing 50k files will still take some time. I'm just interested in what your ideas / thoughts about that are. If the cost of cpu/ram is not too much, I would like to make it the standard in ccollect to --link-dest to all existing backups (which can be quite many, depending on the configuration).
