Optimising the Rsync algorithm for speed by reverting to MD4 hashing

Hi,
From v3.0.0 onwards the hash function implemented by Rsync was changed from MD4
to MD5 (http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/src/rsync-3.0.0-NEWS). My
understanding is that MD5 is a more secure, slower version of MD4 but I am not
convinced that the added security of MD5 would alone have merited

If the rsync --times option is used then rsync will attempt

Hi,
I am learning rsync mechanism. My understanding is that rsync reads a
file into multiple chunks and calculates every byte for MD5 and
rolling checksum for each chunk.. On the other side of file system, it
compares two checksums for each chunk in the same file to decide if
two files are equal o

I am a little curious about value of M. Its used in rsync algo for finding

Not per se.
First you have to determine THAT the file has changed, then the file is
synced if there was

Dear List,
I would like to take a look at rsync's algorithm. As newbie on this
algorithm, I just downloaded Andrew Tridgell's original thesis in 1999.
So my question is "How many differs in rsync algorithm from Andrew
Tridgell's thesis".
Thanks in advance.

A chain of forward deltas requires an extra copy of the backup data.
So, you'd need a start point, an end point, and the deltas would be

Note: the reverse rsync algorithm with cached checksums is essentially
what zsync uses. Zsync may be found here:

I ran rsync --stats on two identical files of size 100MB with a 64KB
block size and extrapolated to 20GB. The files themselves are
incompressible.

If I'm counting correctly, 20GB
Ok, I think I figured out how to combine the algorithms.
Start with a base (like 8 or 256) and a minimum block size (like 256
bytes). The improved rsync will use the old rsync algorithm as a
subroutine. I'll call the old rsync algorithm orsync and the new one
irsync. Instead of act

The computational cost is O(file size) if changes are rare and O(file size
* log(file size)) if they are not. The rsync algorithm will also have to
run the strong checksum on O(file size) bits if th

The rsync algorithm has several advantages. It is robust against
insertions and avoids incurring high latency by using a two-round
protocol.
G'day again,
The first version of pysync turned out to be a bit buggy... release early
and release often is my excuse :-)
Actualy, I tripped up over an obsure bug in Python's zlib to do with
decompression of sync flushes. The workaround is to decompress in smaller
chunks. This makes the code mor
