Hi,
We currently have upload servers in one data center(A), and users upload the images there. We have storage server in another data center(B). When users upload many images at the same time, we face sync difficulties.
On B, we use rsync in server mode, with authentication. On A, we use `rsync -azpogtRv --safe-links 1/ rsync://user@serverB/img/ --password-file=/var/www/r.passwd `
Both ends run centos 5.3 X86_64.
Any suggestions to optimize rsync in this case?
You can add the following options: --ignore-times --delay-updates
The first will speed up the comparison. The second can prevent some errors related to synchronization on the receiving side.
BTW, have you considered using a DRBD volume with GFS? This might work better than rsync, depending on your configuration.
