Hi,
I am a great fan of rsync for copying filesystems. However I now have
a filesystem which is several hundred gigabytes and apparently has a
lot of small files. I have been running rsync all night and it still
did not start copying as it is still building the file list.
Is there any way to get it to start copying as it goes. Or do any of
you have a better tool?
Yes, there is a better tool.
Upgrade both ends to rsync version 3 or later. That version starts the
transfer even before the file list is completely built.
