OK. I read the thread. Pretty interesting design discussion on rsync internals. Has any of it been implemented in 2.5.6? When is it planned to implement it? So, bottom line, you are telling me, dont use rsync for my Oracle database backups? Thats a bummer. Oracle database files are pretty sparse and, at a block level, very few things change, so I was hoping that using 'rsync' instead of 'rcp' to do my daily backups would be IMMENSELY faster. As per the final messages on the thread, just increasing the csum from 2 to 4 bytes seemed to miraculously solve the problem, right? So why isnt this patch being included?
