Hi there, Here we use rsync to distribute the system image daily from a server to 130+ clients. The whole system image is about 500-1000MB and changed infrequently. rsync is not efficient in this case, since whenever a client request to rsync with the server image, the server need to go through the whole set the image to build the file list. Major time is wasted on waiting for the disk I/O. Is there a way to speed it up by pre-build the file list(index) for the image? Any patch for rsync available? Any alternative solution? Thanks very much in advance, Min
