No it doesn't; such functionality only exists in rsync 3.0. See the comments from Tridge. Right now, if you let rsync 2.x sync a tree, it will go and read (data structures for) the whole tree in memory regardless of how large it is. Scott fixes this by externally breaking down the tree into smaller chunks and then rsyncing those individually, such that the memory consumption during any particular rsync operation remains relatively small. -- Ivan Krstić <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | GPG: 0x147C722D _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
