--- Comment #3 from roland <devz...@web.de> 2013-03-09 12:06:15 UTC --- you can do that with pipe-viewer or similar pipe transfer visualization tools with throttling feature. http://www.ivarch.com/programs/pv.shtml first we need to create a little wrapper to put pv into the transfer chain: linux:/tmp # cat /tmp/pv-wrapper #!/bin/bash pv -L 1000 | "$@" example: linux:/tmp # rsync --rsh='/tmp/pv-wrapper ssh' -a /proc root@localhost:/tmp/test Password: 4 B 0:00:01 [3.68 B/s] [ <=> ] file has vanished: "/proc/10/exe" file has vanished: "/proc/10/task/10/exe" file has vanished: "/proc/11/exe" file has vanished: "/proc/11/task/11/exe" file has vanished: "/proc/12/exe"=> ] 4.88kiB 0:00:05 [1002 B/s] [ <=> You can even adjust the transfer rate at runtime, as pv can communicate with a running instance of itself - you will just need the appropriate PID. This would even make cron based tuning of transfer rates possible. pv -R $PIDOFPV -L RATE -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
