Probably the disk is the bottleneck, not the network. Assuming that one of the drives is a 7.2krpm drive it will have a sequential read / write performance of somewhere around 120MB/s although newer spinning drives do seem a tad faster than that. Running uncompressed Rsync over SSH over a Gbit network I have seen more than 100MB/s however if your files are compressible then you can see much better performance. If your ethernet network is 100Mbit/s or the source and destination networks are both SSD then yea... what he said :) > > --- > Mike VanHorn > Senior Computer Systems Administrator > College of Engineering and Computer Science > Wright State University > 265 Russ Engineering Center > 937-775-5157 > michael.vanhorn at wright.edu > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos >
