For 99 and 44/100ths percent of users, this is the right choice. Well, if I can't; they're the ones who screwed up. :-) > I am guessing that some of the delay may be the speed of the interface > to the disk ... but even then 3 minutes sounds long, unless something > else is hitting the disk at the same time. > > Which kernel version btw? A quick 'uname -a' is a good thing. Ok, ok; this isn't the same thread anymore. :-) Linux duckling 3.4.47-2.38-default #1 SMP Fri May 31 20:17:40 UTC 2013 (3961086) i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux > Your hardware could also be somewhat slow ...

I don't seem to have lshw. Or, oddly, hwconfig. It's got 3 Seagate ST3000DM001s, 2 on a SiI 7114 PCI with a pair of Fujitsu Deskstars, 2T and 1T; 40G Samsung boot on the mobo SATA; the third 3000 is in a USB 2 enclosure. And this latest rsync has gotten 78G and then paused; 80G and then paused.... 84G and then paused... 5 min LA 1.9, and the rsync is the top process. I have smartd running; no errors yet. Still watching... Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
