Hi All,

I have a bash script for synchronizing a flashing drive (target)
with my hard drive (source) I take to customer sites (with a read
only switch so I don't spread viruses).

I currently "rsync" 11 different directories.  Each sync line
looks like this:

rsync -rv --delete $MyCDsSource/Linux $MyCDsTarget/.; sync; sync

Problem: it is slow -- takes three hours.  To help the
speed issue, I upgraded from USB 2 to USB 3.  Backup went
from 3 hr-15 min to 3 hr-5 min.  It is almost faster
to wipe the stick and rewrite it.

Anyone  know of a way to speed up rsync?

Many thanks,
-T
