700 is the minimum block-size. The block-size has always been dynamic, but it was not a very good value for really large files in 2.5.7 and prior because it maxxed out at 16K blocks. Beginning in 2.6.0, the block-size started being picked according to a square-root-of-size heuristic that allowed for much larger block-sizes. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
