Hi All,

I was trouble shooting why an rsync was taking over a day.

I found the problem to be in in a directory in /home that has CVS backups in it.

I browsed to find out that there are 7 .tar.gz archives that are each about

1,199,943,181 in size.

So that is over 11gb each? If I am doing the math in my head right....

No wonder why this is taking forever to rsync to a USB drive. It was only on the second of 7 and I started it at 2pm yesterday and it was not done/going this morning....

Looks like maybe 1GB each, but if you use "ls -lh" it will show you "human readable" sizes.
