I think there have been two similar threads recently, and I want to be sure I'm not confusing them. So:
- How large is the db? By which I mean how much disk space does the data directory occupy? - What's the bandwidth of the network connection to the distant slave? - What's the CPU & disk on each end?

Your command is rsync'ing each file individually, so of course each file is sync'd. Sync the directories instead--in other words leave off the * (but not the /) and let rsync decide which files need sync'ing. -- Scott Ribe scott_r...@elevated-dev.com http://www.elevated-dev.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
