While I completely agree that things need to be taken out of |
| 11 |
${FILESDIR}, I have a question for you. Could you give the specs of |
| 12 |
your machine? I have several machines and even on my oldest machine |
| 13 |
with an ATA33 drive and 128MB of RAM, it takes nowhere near 45 minutes |
| 14 |
to rsync the tree. Are you using your geographic rsync mirror? Do you |
| 15 |
