mhh - interesting question...... what about combining the power of throttle ( http://linux.die.net/man/1/throttle ) or similar tools (there are some more like this) with rsync ?
via this hint: http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2006-February/014623.html i got a clue how to combine rsync and throttle and gave it a try : cat throttle-wrap #!/bin/bash throttle -k 1 -s 1| "$@" rsync --rsh='/tmp/throttle-wrap ssh' -avz /src user@host:/dest seems to work fine for me, but mind that throttle needs -s 1 as this seems to circumvent the buffering problem. not sure about the maximum bandwidth you can reach with that and how good you really can adjust the bandwith, so please report your findings...... If that is a useful option, can someone please put this into the bugzilla entry? regards Roland List: rsync Subject: [Bug 7120] Variable bandwidth limit .. bwlimit From: samba-bugs () samba ! org Date: 2013-03-05 15:15:53 Message-ID: E1UCtar-0010tB-0s () samba-bugzilla ! samba ! org [Download message RAW] https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7120 --- Comment #2 from It is me <p...@mnet-online.de> 2013-03-05 15:15:51 UTC --- Hi, just a note, due to the fact I am also looking forward for this feature. I see two options regarding usability and scritablility. :) 1# Piping (not used up to now) mkfifo /tmp/bla echo "1000" > /tmp/bla cat /tmp/bla | rsync ... --bwlimit-stdin ... changing by just write to the fifo echo "50" > /tmp/bla 2# file and signal mktemp > /tmp/bla2 echo "1000" > /tmp/bla2 rsync ... -bwlimit-from=/tmp/bla2 .... & RSYNCPID=$! echo "50" > /tmp/bla2 kill -USR1 ${RSYNCPID} hope the thinking helps.
