That figure is the total bytes transferred divided by the total time that rsync was running. > I had connected by gigabit(1000Base-T & 1000Base-SX), I hope more better > results. Rsync's main purpose is to work over slow networks, so it uses CPU to avoid network transfer. On a gigabit network, you're probably CPU bound, and thus not able to use all the network bandwidth. Try using the -W (--whole-file) option. > "speedup is" > Is this that processing of only a file transfer took 125.30 seconds? No, this is the multiplier of the bytes transferred compared to the total size of all the files that either were or could have been transferred. In other words, if you divide the total size (which includes all files that it scanned) by 125.30, that should equal the bytes actually sent over the wire. When the network is the limiting factor in a transfer, this tells you how much faster the transfer actually went. When the network is not the limiting factor, it's really just a compression factor. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
