unison for windows is slow scanning changes when sync with Linux?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #8372 of 8605 |
Hi there,

I am running 2.27.57 on Windows and sync up with a Linux directory via
OpenSSH. It takes long time to scan for changes. Looks like it is
reading every files to gather info. If I run unison on another linux
machine to sync with the same linux directory, it is much faster. Is
this normal? Is it because that some info for a file is not available
directly in Windows NTFS and the file content has to be scanned? Any
way to speed it up?

Thanks,
Xiong
