I really want to thank you for taking time to help me with this. I have changed the rsyncd.conf as per you suggestion below.
I have several different systems that sync to the server and today they were showing this Number of files: 25832 Number of files transferred: 78 Total file size: 49441191919 bytes Total transferred file size: 37421120 bytes Literal data: 36955331 bytes Matched data: 465789 bytes File list size: 1305253 File list generation time: 0.001 seconds File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds Total bytes sent: 19832 Total bytes received: 38276589 sent 19832 bytes received 38276589 bytes 654639.68 bytes/sec total size is 49441191919 speedup is 1291.01 The system in question show this Number of files: 35143 Number of files transferred: 0 Total file size: 97.70G bytes Total transferred file size: 0 bytes Literal data: 0 bytes Matched data: 0 bytes File list size: 1.74M File list generation time: 0.001 seconds File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds Total bytes sent: 48 Total bytes received: 1.74M sent 48 bytes received 1.74M bytes 204.52K bytes/sec total size is 97.70G speedup is 56200.47 [root@centos findmoore]# Here it is when I use the switch --itemize-changes as suggested when I run it it display a list of the files and then ends with this send_files phase=1 recv_files phase=1 generate_files phase=2 send_files phase=2 recv_files phase=2 send files finished generate_files phase=3 total: matches=0 hash_hits=0 false_alarms=0 data=0 recv_files finished rsync[32689] (receiver) heap statistics: arena: 204800 (bytes from sbrk) ordblks: 7 (chunks not in use) smblks: 2 hblks: 2 (chunks from mmap) hblkhd: 401408 (bytes from mmap) allmem: 606208 (bytes from sbrk + mmap) usmblks: 0 fsmblks: 192 uordblks: 58736 (bytes used) fordblks: 146064 (bytes free) keepcost: 133904 (bytes in releasable chunk) generate_files finished rsync[32680] (generator) heap statistics: arena: 204800 (bytes from sbrk) ordblks: 10 (chunks not in use) smblks: 2 hblks: 2 (chunks from mmap) hblkhd: 401408 (bytes from mmap) allmem: 606208 (bytes from sbrk + mmap) usmblks: 0 fsmblks: 192 uordblks: 60208 (bytes used) fordblks: 144592 (bytes free) keepcost: 133904 (bytes in releasable chunk) Number of files: 35143 Number of files transferred: 0 Total file size: 97.70G bytes Total transferred file size: 0 bytes Literal data: 0 bytes Matched data: 0 bytes File list size: 1.74M File list generation time: 0.001 seconds File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds Total bytes sent: 105.48K Total bytes received: 9.56M sent 105.48K bytes received 9.56M bytes 222.14K bytes/sec total size is 97.70G speedup is 10110.30 _exit_cleanup(code=0, file=main.c, line=1505): about to call exit(0) [root@centos ~]# The files I see scrolling by looks like this and there are many many screens. .f pclinuxos/srpms/SRPMS.pclos/zinnia-0.06-2pclos2013.src.rpm send_files(35160, /home/repo/pclinuxos/srpms/SRPMS.pclos/zinnia-tomoe-0.6.0.20080911-1pclos2013.src.rpm) recv_files(pclinuxos/srpms/SRPMS.pclos/zinnia-tomoe-0.6.0.20080911-1pclos2013.src.rpm) .f pclinuxos/srpms/SRPMS.pclos/zinnia-tomoe-0.6.0.20080911-1pclos2013.src.rpm send_files(35161, /home/repo/pclinuxos/srpms/SRPMS.pclos/zint-2.4.2-1pclos2012.src.rpm) recv_files(pclinuxos/srpms/SRPMS.pclos/zint-2.4.2-1pclos2012.src.rpm) .f pclinuxos/srpms/SRPMS.pclos/zint-2.4.2-1pclos2012.src.rpm send_files(35162, /home/repo/pclinuxos/srpms/SRPMS.pclos/zip-3.0-1pclos2011.src.rpm) recv_files(pclinuxos/srpms/SRPMS.pclos/zip-3.0-1pclos2011.src.rpm) .f pclinuxos/srpms/SRPMS.pclos/zip-3.0-1pclos2011.src.rpm send_files(35163, /home/repo/pclinuxos/srpms/SRPMS.pclos/ziproxy-3.2.0-1pclos2012.src.rpm) recv_files(pclinuxos/srpms/SRPMS.pclos/ziproxy-3.2.0-1pclos2012.src.rpm) .f pclinuxos/srpms/SRPMS.pclos/ziproxy-3.2.0-1pclos2012.src.rpm send_files(35164, /home/repo/pclinuxos/srpms/SRPMS.pclos/zisofs-tools-1.0.8-1pclos2012.src.rpm) recv_files(pclinuxos/srpms/SRPMS.pclos/zisofs-tools-1.0.8-1pclos2012.src.rpm) .f pclinuxos/srpms/SRPMS.pclos/zisofs-tools-1.0.8-1pclos2012.src.rpm send_files(35165, /home/repo/pclinuxos/srpms/SRPMS.pclos/zlib-1.2.8-4pclos2014.src.rpm) recv_files(pclinuxos/srpms/SRPMS.pclos/zlib-1.2.8-4pclos2014.src.rpm) .f pclinuxos/srpms/SRPMS.pclos/zlib-1.2.8-4pclos2014.src.rpm send_files(35166, /home/repo/pclinuxos/srpms/SRPMS.pclos/znotes-0.4.5-17.1pclos2011.src.rpm) recv_files(pclinuxos/srpms/SRPMS.pclos/znotes-0.4.5-17.1pclos2011.src.rpm) .f pclinuxos/srpms/SRPMS.pclos/znotes-0.4.5-17.1pclos2011.src.rpm send_files(35167, /home/repo/pclinuxos/srpms/SRPMS.pclos/zoneminder-1.26.3-3pclos2014.src.rpm) recv_files(pclinuxos/srpms/SRPMS.pclos/zoneminder-1.26.3-3pclos2014.src.rpm) On 11/22/2014 13:45 PM, Kevin Korb wrote: > First, all your rsyncd.conf settings after the read only line belong > in the main section not the module section. > > > Second, it seems to indicate there is only 1 file and it doesn't need > transferring. --itemize-changes would help.
