so, instead of 500M i would transfer 100GB over the network. that`s no option.
besides that, for transferring complete files i know faster methods than rsync. one more question: how safe is transferring a 100gb file, i.e. as rsync is using checksums internally to compare the contents of two files, how can i calculate the risk of 2 files being NOT perfectly in sync after rsync run ? i assume there IS a risk, just as like there is a risk that 2 files may have the same md5 checksum by chance.... regards roland >List: rsync >Subject: Re: rsync speedup - how ? >From: Jon Forrest <jlforrest () berkeley ! edu> >Date: 2009-08-07 0:25:12 >Message-ID: h5fs8m$nqj$1 () ger ! gmane ! org >[Download message RAW] > >One way I've been trying to speedup rsync may >not apply in every situation.
