Actually - the problem is disk IO. And the disk IO is what makes the load levels go up. The load level is something that's readable can can be used to have rsync slow itself down. Nice doesn't do the trick. Nice helps - but even at nice +19 it still slows the system to a crawl when backing up f

rsync works with vpns?

2004-02-17 Thread Brian
Hi, Does rsync treat vpns to a third machine differently? I assumed it wouldn't rsync the files on a remote machine, C to server A, but it is. E.g., Linux Rsync Bkup Server A < - > FreeBSD file server B <---VPN---> file server C. Rsync transfers the VPN'd files with seemingly with no compl

Feature Request - Load Throttling

2004-02-17 Thread Marc Perkel
If you aleady are doing this - then thanks. But here's a feature I'd like to see. Rsync often puts a lot of load on the system because of high disk access. I'd like to see rsync become "load aware" and to slow itself down under high load levels. Seems to me that it could be something fairly ea

Erratic Trouble rsyncing between windows share and linux

I am trying to rsync between two linux boxes, but one of the linux boxes is using samba to map a share from a windows SAN onto it's file system.

[patch] Add `--link-by-hash' option (rev 3).

2004-02-17 Thread Jason M. Felice
This patch adds the --link-by-hash=DIR option, which hard links received files in a link farm arranged by MD4 file hash. The result is that the system will only store one copy of the unique contents of each file, regardless of the file's name. (rev 3) * Don't link empty files. * Roll over to new
