Rsync over cifs could be quite slow, especially if it has to compute hashes for all the files to see if they've changed. I think what might be happening is cifs doesn't report file times in a resolution high enough to satisfy rsync's algorithm. Try the flags that are typically recommended for use on Windows file systems, like --modify-window 1 And maybe also --size-only But try to avoid that last one if you can. You might look into --ignore-errors also, but that really only applies to the --delete flags. The best bet in my mind is to rsync over ssh. That way you're running on the real file system. Pretty sure QNAP can do that out of the box. https://wiki.qnap.com/wiki/Rsync /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
