I am using rsync to send almost 1 TB of sparse files across the LAN to another identical Linux box. If I fire only 1 command, I get about 22 Mb of speed, but if I fire 6 commands in parallel, from different SSH connections, the speed is divided by 6: very, very slow.
My command is rsync -S --progress sparsefile jephe@server:newsparsefile The LAN is 1GB and both machines are Scientific Linux 6.0. Is there any way to do this that does not have a bottleneck? Federico
