Bug ID: 11152 Summary: Feature Request: Cache Filelist Product: rsync Version: 3.1.1 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 Component: core Assignee: way...@samba.org Reporter: andrebr...@gmail.com QA Contact: rsync...@samba.org Making it simple: --cache=FILENAME -> Enable cache. Cache, for the local folder, will be stored/read from FILENAME So, with --cache, instead of browsing through local files/folders, rsync would rely on the cache stored at FILENAME (or, if it doesn't exist, rsync would generate it) Without --cache, rsync would ignore reading/generating a cache and just work as usual. Mirror and backup servers are wasting a lot of IO when browsing through files/folders that will just be changed by rsync. Caching would be perfect. While browsing mailing list and google, I've found some of people looking for this feature.
