...coincidentally, see the following thread that i just read on the rsync list: http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2006-January/014393.html Summary, when rsyncing huge files, you may run into a hash table overflow that causes syncs to take forever. Manually increasing the block size that rsync uses helped the original poster, but in general this approach seems problematic. Sigh, just when i thought i had a great idea. danno ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems?
