Rsync over SSH - (40MB/s over 1GB NICs)

The fastest remote directory rsync over ssh archival I can muster (40MB/s over 1gb NICs)

This creates an archive that does the following:

rsync (Everyone seems to like -z, but it is much slower for me)

  • a: archive mode - rescursive, preserves owner, preserves permissions, preserves modification times, preserves group, copies symlinks as symlinks, preserves device files.
  • H: preserves hard-links
  • A: preserves ACLs

Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long.

I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.
