Speeding rsync via externalities like file system choice

2010-05-20 Thread Andrew Gideon
Using rsync --link-dest, I end up with a file system that has a relatively large number of directory entries but relatively small number of inodes. Copying this volume takes hours...far more than other volumes of similar size. I blame the much larger amount of directory traversal (and compar

Another approach is to install cygwin (a Unix-like setup for Windows, based on libraries that "convert" Unix calls to their Windows equivalent, roughly speaking anyway), and request the rsync package. However, this is rather a bit to do just to get pre-built rsync. On the other hand, if you instal
