Hi anybody! I've configured hourly rsync backup between my home partition and an USB hard disk. Nothing special only rsync -va --delete /home/ffiene/ /media/disk/ffiene/ After rsync is started the system (Thinkpad Z61p mit Dual2 Core 2GHz, 4GB RAM, 100GB HD) is unusable slow. Has somebody the same problem and a solution? I am using the 64bit version of openSuSE-10.2 of course! Same problem with simply copying files to USB HD. The notebook feels slower then my old T42p with Centrino 2GHz/2GB/100GB. I've tried to enable irq_balancer to share interrupts on both CPUs (change of the start script to work with Dual Core), but this doesn't help. Any help would be appreciated!
