rsync - Aug 2006 - DO NOT REPLY [Bug 4030] New: new option: --filelimit

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4030

           Summary: new option: --filelimit
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.8
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned@samba.org
        ReportedBy: vl@samba.org
         QAContact: rsync-qa@samba.org


I've got a server that gets backed up during normal operation. While the
rsync
sender is building up the file list, it saturates the disk subsystem with the
directory traversal which drives load due to other operations to silly heights.

The patch to follow implements a --filelimit=n option that limits the number of
files to be looked up per second, very similar to the --bwlimit option.

Rsync already has a slow-down.diff that does something similar.

Yes, it would be nice to be able to get rsync to not saturate the file I/O in
some way.  Perhaps something more like the --slow-down option would be better
than this, but I haven't looked at it enough yet to decide, so I'll
leave this
open for now.

This is really asking for the same thing as bug 3491.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 3491 ***
