A few months ago I described a problem in which my gateway box, acting as an |
2 |
rsync portage server to my desktop and portable boxes, was taking several |
3 |
minutes to create and transfer the file list. The transfers of files to |
4 |
synchronise the local portage database with that on the server worked just |
5 |
fine, however. |
6 |
|

It turns out that the 256 MB of RAM in the server wasn't enough, since as soon |
8 |
as I put in another GB it just flew - about one or two seconds now for file |
9 |
list transfer, which is a factor of 50 or 100 better. |

The box does run BOINC clients, but at nice 19, so I though that shouldn't be |
12 |
a problem. However, I now remember that my BOINC parameters included a |
13 |
leave-in-memory-while-inactive option, and I suppose that must have been it, |
14 |
though I don't know how the kernel would operate with that setting. |
15 |

Hope someone finds this interesting. |
