Hi, Well, I do have 2 hints. You have to remember, it could be on either side that it is doing the I/O And it could be other I/O on the same system which is slowing it down. My guess is, if you have '-v --progress' and you rsync to an empty directory, you might not find that it would pause. Just adding --progress might give you the information you are looking for already anyway. > Justin > > On Wed, Aug 31, 2011 at 07:09:35PM +0900, David Somers-Harris wrote: >> rsync pauses during transfers.
