Smaller directories will enable rsync's incremental transfer mode to work more efficiently. I'd go for 256 directories in this scenario. Rsync can then scan de next directory while transferring the current one. More directories probably won't help much. Paul -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
