Hi. Let's say I have 10,000 files per directory. If I understood Wayne, rsync builds a list for all the files in the current dir, plus another list for the directory being read-ahead.
So how much memory should rsync use, for 20,000 files? I did double-check with -v, and it says "receiving incremental file list" at the start of the rsync session. I've also removed the -H option. My options now are: --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive -v --ignore-times What should I expect in terms of rsync's memory usage, please?
