--- Comment #9 from Paul Slootman <p...@debian.org> --- The issue when copying a large number of small files is disk IO / seeking. Check the wait for IO values using top / whatever when doing such a transfer. Running multiple threads in such a situation will only cause the disk to thrash even more. Multiple threads makes sense on high latency links. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
