To answer my own question, my rsync process has grown to 1 Gig
resident in memory and seems to be holding steady at size as it keeps
chugging along.
Boy am I glad incremental recursion has been added - thanks!! I
would never have been able to do this rsync otherwise.

Hi. Let's say I have 10,000 files per directory. If I understood
Wayne, rsync builds a list for all the files in the current dir, plus
another list for the directory being read-ahead.
So how much memory should rsync use, for 20,000 files?
I did double-check with -v, and it says receiving

Why should rsync 3's memory usage depend on the number of files? Does it
keep files it already knows should not be transferred in memory?
If not, then maybe we should hold

It depends on your options, and possibly on the maximum number of files
in a directory. I've seen a recursive scan
Thank you, Wayne. My options are:
--server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links
--hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive . /
We don't have hard links, AFAIK.
I am archiving 2 months of data, and then I will trying doing another
rsync run, and I'll add the -v
