This is a simple question. How much file system
overhead is there with this system? Is it only as large as the largest file
transfered or could you potentially (even if configured correctly) end up with
double what you started out with on the sending or receiving end?
The reason I need to be sure is that I have a file
system that's literally several hundred thousand files. Complete it's around
25-30GB.. these are sparse files so there's lots of room for compression.
..tar'd and compressed it's 3-4GB.
I just need to be sure there will be enough room if
no single file is larger than about 200K and I have about 5GB of space left of
the partition.
It's just taking way too long to tar and compress the complete directory,
transfer than uncompress and untar.. the last run took around 24 hours front to
back. I'm hoping to cut that to around 4-5 hours. :) (probably optimistic, but
who knows!)
Anybody know of limitations on file count or size I
might run into here?
Any help is appreciated for this rsync
newbie.
