IIRC, rsync ends up with multiple processes per job: >From http://rsync.samba.org/how-rsync-works.html Local Rsync jobs (when the source and destination are both on locally mounted filesystems) are done exactly like a push. The client, which becomes the sender, forks a server process to fulfill the receiver role. The client/sender and server/receiver communicate with each other over pipes. *** But yes, beyond that doesn't have a high degree of parallelism. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
