rsync file corruption

Rsync write behaviour / efficiency

Rsync is efficient at transferring diffs across the wire, but how efficient is it at updating the remote file itself (in terms of disk operations)? If, for example, you have a 500MB file (say an ISO) whose modification consists solely of a few bytes added on to the beginning of the file. Will it

Rsync maps files into memory, so it cannot handle files larger than the program's address space. On 32 bit machines this is likely to be less than 2GB. You don't say what processor you are running on? Can it map files of bigger than 2GB into memory? Andy Henson -- To unsubscribe

Can rsync be made to merge files? For instance, could I synchronize mboxes between multiple computers, even though they're all changing? I have _serious_ doubts, because I think it would take a diff3, but a friend mentioned it, so I had to ask. -- Andy Goth | [EMAIL PROTECTED] |

I searched the archive of last 3 months of this list for a FAQ posting, but I could not find one. My question is this: Where does rsync store the filelist that it builds? Or more to the point... When you fork off rsync processes in rapid succession, does it have to build the list for each pro
