RHEL 5.6 Slow rsync to NFS array
Hi All,

I have RHEL 5.6 with a 70GB local directory of Web content. Images, PHP scripts etc.

I need to copy all this content to an NFS array thats mounted on the RHEL server.

I did a baseline cp to copy the content one week ago. Since my baseline copy the local directory has grown by 8GB.

Now I am using the below rsync command to run an incremental copy of all the new content.

rsync -avz --stats <source> <destination>


Rsync has been running for 2 days now and and it only appears to have copied about 2GB.

Is there a faster way I can do the copy? I seriously need to sync this content and I can't wait a week for it to complete.

Can someone please help me here?

I'll provide whatever info you need.

Thanks,

Do you have a duplex mismatch? That sounds like a configuration issue.
