--- Begin Message ---Package: rsync Tags: patch Please build the package with the --drop-cache option (patch should be available in the tarball). It should allow to avoid filling up the io cache with the copied data. The current behavior pushes the cached data of other process out of the memory and slows down the system as the ram gets filled up. http://insights.oetiker.ch/linux/fadvise.html
