Re: Smoother bandwidth limiting

This again? Where 1024 was arbitrary not magic. This would reduce the maximum throughput on a 100HZ system to ~100KB/sec no matter what the --bwlimit value is. I'm getting more and more convinced that --bwlimit should never have gotten into rsync. Bandwidth management belongs at the system leve

Smoother bandwidth limiting

Hello I'm using a cable modem with a slow uplink, and therefore when I want to transfer large amounts of data upstream, I tend to use rsync with --bwlimit. However, the stock rsync seems to send a bit too much data at once for comfort, momentarily blocking my meager upstream enough to bother laten

rsync 2.5.6 fails to create device nodes on IRIX and NFS mount

Hi, rsync (2.5.6 protocol version 26) on IRIX fails to create device inodes to a NFS mounted filesystem. rsync via ssh, client side is on IRIX 6.5.19, server side is on RedHat Linux 7.3 (rsync 2.5.4 protocol version 26) and the NFS mount is from a linux box (NFSv3 and dev,suid as mount options

Implemented "--exclude-old" in rsync

Hi, I'm using rsync to keep several file servers in sync. Uploads to the data can be placed at any time on any server. I'm using the extended N-way backup, following the example from the two way backup in the FAQ: rsync --archive --update rsync::first/files files (on second, third) rsync --arc

rsync enhancement - check destination before creating file list?

Wouldn't it make sense for rsync to check for the existence of the destination directory before creating the file list? It's a waste to stat(2) thousands of files only to abort because the destination doesn't exist. -- Bob Bagwill -- To unsubscribe or change options

MD4 Engine Bug?

Hello, While porting rsync 2.5.6 to .NET (C#), I noticed that the MD4 engine in the original source code in my possession behaved differently from the C# MD4 engine that I was using in my own code. While testing the file transfer between my program and a compiled version of rsync 2.5.6, I notice

rsyncing Maildirs

Hi I'm trying to take a backup of all the users emails on a server using rsync, but there is probably something about the patterns I haven't understood quite. Every user has a folder called Maildir in their home directory. So the structure is like this: /home/user1/Maildir /home/user2/Ma
