Hello,
I'm currently using rsync to backup up to 1 TB of small files of
relatively small files (hundreds of Ko mostly)
My backup strategy is to use a full backup and then backup the diff
every day using hardlink with the previous backup. This means that each
time I use rsync, the destination directory is empty.
Using strace, I can see that rsync call a 'lstat' command to try to see
if the file already exists in my destination directory. Is there an
option to tell rsync that the destination directory is empty ?
Do you think that avoiding this call can improve rsync performances in
this specific case ?
I tried reading the source code, but I'm not exactly sure where this
lstat call happens.
Thanks a lot,
Arnaud Aujon Chevallier
