Hi all,
I have a working installation on a centos7 server. I'm backing up 30+
linux server hosts with rsync. Since I was a bit surprised by the
growing space taken on the backup server, I started to investigate on
the pooling mechanism. So I started to create simple identical text
files on 2 servers to see if the file was showed as already in pool
while backing up the second server after having back up the first. First
I just created 2 times the same text file (ie same content, same md5sum,
same permission, same selinux but different creating time) second I
created it on the first server then rsync it to the second to have it
absolutely identical (rsync -aAXv). In both case the file is showed as
created by the second server's backup. Then I tried a bigger file
created with fallocate -l 2M test.img and rsynced it the same way. In
all case my file is created again on the second backup. I also checked
the hard link limit that I increased from 32000 to 64000 (ext4
file-system here) with no improvement. Am I missing something?
Many thanks
jean-louis
