Hi all, Having a problem with rsync lately (don't recall having it before, but not sure what changed, or maybe I just didn't notice).
The background info: Rivendell broadcast appliance on a server machine with a 6 drive raid 5 (hardware controller) hosting mysql and /var/snd, and the delta 1010 audio card, rivendell broadcast appliance on an airplay machine, CAE running on the server (airplay runs on this machine but the audio comes out the server soundcard). A network drive is mounted as /backup on the server machine. the rivendell machines have gigabit nics and are on a gigabit switch, the network drive is 100 megabit nic. The problem: Running rsync -alv /var/snd /backup causes latency between the songs playing out. the songs play fine once they start, but we get a few seconds of dead air between songs, and it really throws the jocks off if they are on air. niceing it didn't help at all nice -n 19 rsync -alv /var/snd /backup, actually seemed to make it worse... I can't imagine the network is clogging....the cpu utilization seems to be fine, as well as RAM....... Any Ideas? the purpose of course is to backup my audio. any suggestions? am I using the wrong switches? should I be using a negative number for nice? (I read the docs and it seemed like i wanted a positive number..) thanks, -- Nathaniel C.
