I wouldn't run it on an NSD server. Ideally you want to avoid running other processes etc on there.
If you are running on clients, you also might want to look at: https://github.com/hpc/mpifileutils And use MPI to parallelise the find and copy.

Non special GPFS attributes, just the standard POSIX one, we plan to use the standard rsync. The question: is there any advantage in running the rsync on one of the NSD server or is better to run it on a client?
