I just installed Cygwin / OpenSSH / rsync on two Dell PowerVault 745N NASes running Windows 2003 Appliance Edition. My rsync daemons are running, ssh works, and in theory all is well. But... I'm getting an average of maybe 15 Mb/s rsyncing between them.
Now, I know I have an issue in the way they're connected... one is attached to a Cisco 2970 (1 Gb/s), which is attached to a NetGear 100Mb/s switch, which has the other NAS attached to it. Yes, the NetGear is going to go away :-) And the NASes are going to wind up with a crossover cable between them for a straight, dedicated 1Gb/s But it certainly looks like rsync is not using more than a fraction of the (theoretically) available 100Mb/s There are several other hosts attached to the NetGear switch, and there is no "slowness" about them (which disproved my initial hypothesis of a saturated backplane) Is this a known rsync and/or Cygwin issue? I also get a "cannot send long-named file" message that halted rsync The file in question is probably a fluke, but this could happen again. How could I get rsync to just ignore the too-long filename, or maybe increase the limit of what it considers "too long"? -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * *********************************************************************** -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
