I have always rejected overcomplicating rsync with cache control code (the complexity of a --drop-cache patch I saw was quite horrifying). In the past I pointed people towards https://github.com/Feh/nocache as one way to get posix_fadvise used by an rsync copy. That project now apparently suggests creating a memory-bounded cgroup, which sounds interesting. ..wayne..
