It may be worth adding a special case for zero blocks to the delta-transfer algorithm, as suggested in the Debian bug report, to improve the behavior for sparse files without the full CPU-time penalty of compression. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
