The process doesn't scale well.
Does that mean it will get slower and slower to rsync the data when the amount of hard links increases? So, what are the limits? Currently I am rsyncing a TopDir which size is 27G. How do I find out how many hard links the directory tree contains? All _seems_ to go well (will I receive some errors in rsyncing if something goes wrong, or will it just stall)?
