Re: Building file list takes hours,how to improve performance?

But the USB drive is the target,could it affect the performance of building file list process?I just plugged the USB drive to the host and copy and paste to do a full backup last time,it seems it's more effective than rsync to check updating.

Well, the USB stuff tends to be slow. And untuned filesystems are
that, too. If it's ext3, you'd play with the dir_index flag.
