It was funny, but it would have been more efficient to use tar over netcat instead of CP or rsync to initially populate the directory. It would be a steady data stream to the network and wouldn't beat up on the file system as bad as rsync would.
I'll trade being able to stop/start and repeat the same command (rsync) for a few extra packets over my local net any day.
