trying to make sense of rsync output...
I'm running the following rsync command to sync a directory between the 2 servers:

Code:
rsync -az --delete --stats /some_dir/ server_name:/some_dir

I'm getting the following output:

Code:
Number of files: 655174
Number of files transferred: 14221
Total file size: 1138531979331 bytes
Total transferred file size: 34268450432 bytes
Literal data: 34268393973 bytes
Matched data: 858 bytes
File list size: 40480982
File list generation time: 73.776 seconds
File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds
Total bytes sent: 22761328925
Total bytes received: 334668

sent 22761328925 bytes  received 334668 bytes  1153862.25 bytes/sec
total size is 1138531979331  speedup is 50.02

I'm not quite sure how much data was actually transferred. It is the "Total bytes sent"? Then what is "Total transferred file size"? How mush data was actually copied between the servers? Just by common sense, I'm guessing "Total bytes sent" is what was transferred, and it's smaller because of the compression. Am I correct, or am I looking at the wrong numbers?

Also it would be nice if rsync reported how much time it took, is there another switch to get that info?

ocf_heartbeat_rsyncd

OCF_HEARTBEAT_RSYNCD(7) 					OCF resource agents					   OCF_HEARTBEAT_RSYNCD(7)

NAME

       ocf_heartbeat_rsyncd - Manages an rsync daemon

SYNOPSIS

       rsyncd [start | stop | monitor | validate-all | meta-data]

DESCRIPTION

       This script manages rsync daemon

SUPPORTED PARAMETERS

       binpath
	   The rsync binary path. For example, "/usr/bin/rsync" (optional, string, default rsync)

       conffile
	   The rsync daemon configuration file name with full path. For example, "/etc/rsyncd.conf" (optional, string, default /etc/rsyncd.conf)

       bwlimit
	   This option allows you to specify a maximum transfer rate in kilobytes per second. This option is most effective when using rsync with
	   large files (several megabytes and up). Due to the nature of rsync transfers, blocks of data are sent, then if rsync determines the
	   transfer was too fast, it will wait before sending the next data block. The result is an average transfer rate equaling the specified
	   limit. A value of zero specifies no limit. (optional, string, no default)

SUPPORTED ACTIONS

       This resource agent supports the following actions (operations):

       start
	   Starts the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s.

       stop
	   Stops the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s.

       monitor
	   Performs a detailed status check. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s. Suggested interval: 60s.

       validate-all
	   Performs a validation of the resource configuration. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s.

       meta-data
	   Retrieves resource agent metadata (internal use only). Suggested minimum timeout: 5s.

EXAMPLE

       The following is an example configuration for a rsyncd resource using the crm(8) shell:

	   primitive example_rsyncd ocf:heartbeat:rsyncd 

	     op monitor depth="0" timeout="20s" interval="60s"
