Option to not update Atime on filesystems not mounted noatime

2007-08-02 Thread Matthias Schniedermeyer
Hi I have a single filesystem i don't mount noatime because mutt would work very good otherwise. Today, in a discussion about mkisofs, i learned that Linux since 2.6.8 supports "O_NOATIME" as an option to open. (see "man 2 open") So how comes that rsync doesn't do that and/or there is no opti

Hi all. I once tried to rsync around 100 GB (10 million files), but version 2.6.6 needed too much RAM and was too slow. Is one of the snapshots stable enough to try this again? Greetings Sven pgp2q99V2fn3K.pgp Description: PGP signature -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.

How much file list kept during incremental recursion?

Wayne, Sven's note made me curious about how much incremental recursion actually reduces memory usage, so I'm asking: How much of the file list do the rsync processes hold in memory at any one time in incremental recursion mode? Just the active file-list chunk(s) and their ancestors? Or does rsy
