Hi all!
I am using rdiff-backup without flaws since this conversation here last
year. Although I always need to add the "--no-fsync" argument in order
to get fast (20-30min) backups.
Unfortunately, I have a problem with the current backup.
I deleted a lot of stuff on my machine (around 200GB) and if I do a new
backup I have to abort it after 9 hours as it does not finish.
iostat -x -m 3 shows that %util is always between 70 and 95.
So I assume that IO is again a bottleneck, but shouldn't it be easy for
rdiff-backup to just delete the files from the backup?
Is there a way how I can speed up this process?
Thank you very much and cheers,
Jonas

Hi Jonas,
Great news! Fsync is useful but not in you scenario. I'm glad it worked
for you.
Don't hesitate to come back of you have other questions.
