I'd imagine your local disk is unencrypted while you are reading/writing
to it....

Hi All,
I have a bash script for synchronizing a flashing drive
(target)
with my hard drive (source) I take to customer sites
(with a read
only switch so I don't spread viruses).
I currently "rsync" 11 different directories. Each
sync line
looks like this:
rsync -rv --delete $MyCDsSource/Linux $MyCDsTarget/.;
sync; sync
Problem: it is slow -- takes three hours. To help the
speed issue, I upgraded from USB 2 to USB 3. Backup went
from 3 hr-15 min to 3 hr-5 min. It is almost faster
to wipe the stick and rewrite it.
Anyone know of a way to speed up rsync?
Many thanks,
-T

If this is all on a local network segment and you can forgo the
security
aspect:
-e "ssh -T -c arcfour -o Compression=no -x"

Hi Steven,
The USB 3 flash drives and plugged directly into my
USB 3 Front panel hub.
My local hard drive is LUKS encrypted. Is that an issue?
Doesn't seem to slow anything else down.
Many thanks,

Just dug through "man rsync". Not finding a way to turn it off.
