Do the files/directories that you want to copy change frequently...?
Maybe you can isolate your sources into groups that wouldn't change during one
rsync run?
I think to have noticed in the past that rsync doesn't stop on incomplete
files... If the files keep changing, rsync will keep trying to get them over to
the destination, again and again...
Attempts to rsync a log file that is permanently written into will keep rsync
running forever. I'm not really sure about this, but that's what's in my
memory.
Good luck with it.
Thanks.
The files are static. I was simply attaching a USB disk intending to copy it to the
server.
Maybe the copy fails for some other reason and rsync retries? At times it was stuck for
many minutes
before proceeding (very slowly), and it was at 100% CPU the whole time.
