Hey folks, I did some googling on this but did not come up with much. I'm using rsnapshot which uses rsync, and I notice some pretty long pauses in the xfers as you can see on this graph from "munin". THe machine in question right at the moment is doing nothing but rsyncing ( rsnapshoting ) some 12T of NAS storage to local disk, so there is nothing else going on at all.

You can see around 2am it drops off pretty low, then from about 4am til about 7am it drops even lower. https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/113518077816006248932/albums/5732421463318682369/5753140504922328322 Is that normal? Or is this something I should ask on the rsnapshot list (if there is one)? I did find something in google about depending on the types of files it can change xfer rate but not much detail. thanks, -Alan -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
