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 1199943181 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.... -ML
