Hi there,
got to configure my brand new eee-pc (mostly...)! :-)
My plan ist to mirror my home directory between desktop and netbook using rsync.
Prodecure (rtfm); hint: using compression
Quote:
#!/bin/sh
# mirror two computers using rsync
# syntax: rsync "source" "target"; "source" is reference for syncing
LAPTOP="192.168.0.192"
rsync -avuzb --exclude '*~' ${LAPTOP}:/home/dummy/ /home/dummy
rsync -avuzb --exclude '*~' /home/dummy/ ${LAPTOP}:/home/dummy

Now: the problem:
Using iwconfig I see 56MB/s more or less constantly.
Even the download rate from internet is - depending on server - close to perfect.
But as soon as I start "rsync" at my desktop (actually the script above), I see a transfer-rate of about 600kB/s and iwconfig says 1MB/s (which corresponds, of course).
After finnishing/stopping rsync, iwconfig shows 56MB/s, again!
btw: same behaviour without compression.
boundary conditions:
desktop: slackware-12.1
eee-pc: slackware-12.2 (rt2860rta, wpa2)
router: d-link DIR-635
My question is: why do I have such a low speed, while rsync is running??
Any hint appreciated!
M.
