Running an rsync server does present a big load on the server, but traditionally it's not been a matter of whether or not the directories have been cached, but rather the fact that rsync doesn't cache the per-file checksums, and has to recalculate them all each time a new client connects. - Ted _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
