Desmond: Out-Tridging Tridge Barney Desmond talks about an rsync performance problem and its solution; the result is an interesting overview of how rsync works. "Most of the activity in this MySQL data file occurs at the end, where more zeroes had been written on the sender’s side. rsync hits this section of the file and is calculating the rolling checksums as normal. For each checksum, it’s referring to the hash table, hitting the all-zeroes chain, then furiously traversing the chain skipping over unusable chunks. Things are now possibly hundreds of times slower than normal, and the backup job has been running for over a week with no sign of finishing any time soon; not sustainable." |
