Many thanks for all the responses.
a. rsync. we use this tool as well, but experienced some discomfort with it in that, if we run a couple of rsync tasks on large transfers inparallel, they can grind our servers to a halt without too much difficulty.
Any further access to the same file system involved in the rsync will certainly be very slow, and the overall system performance is severely degraded too.
You can (probably) use a traffic shaping tool to throttle rsync traffic.
That reminds me vaguely of something. man rsync: yes indeed: --bwlimit=KBPS limit I/O bandwidth, KBytes per second Cheers, Leen
