Summary: new option: --filelimit Product: rsync Version: 2.6.8 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] QAContact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've got a server that gets backed up during normal operation. While the rsync sender is building up the file list, it saturates the disk subsystem with the directory traversal which drives load due to other operations to silly heights. The patch to follow implements a --filelimit=n option that limits the number of files to be looked up per second, very similar to the --bwlimit option.
