No because the things that backups and rsync do works in a slow way. We can do the backup the look-aside cache with tar-balls in a couple of hours. We can also rsync that in the same amount of time. It takes that long or longer to do that with a couple of git trees which are much smaller in size but larger in file numbers. Every file in a git tree is stat'd and while there is some deduplication, there is a lot of files. Could this be solved by moving to some other sort of file system model... possibly but we a) Have no time to pursue that investigation in a large enough size to prove/disprove it b) Have no money to purchase the equipment that these file systems work on. -- Stephen J Smoogen. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
