A pair of workaround options: These options are similar in result, but differing in implementation.
Option 1: Maintain a mirror of the data on the server, say, rsync from /home to another local disk, then run dirvish on that data. This is expensive on disk space, but easiest to setup. Option 2: Take an LVM snapshot /home, then back up from the snapshot. Neither fixes the speed problem, but both allow backing up of unchanging data. Some more things to try if the icy box isn't mounted by anything else, try mounting nfs with nolock. You can also no_subtree_check on the icy box. This also suggests making your rsize/wsize smaller... http://osdir.com/ml/nfs/2003-03/msg00119.html _______________________________________________ Dirvish mailing list [email protected] http://www.dirvish.org/mailman/listinfo/dirvish
