Hello Samba Team, We are using rysnc utility for transferring ~90GB data across the machines. We noticed that for small folders, rsync is working fine but the moment we switch to 90GB folder, it gets stuck at "building file list". We even left it running overnight e.g. 16 hours but it never came out. We are using simple rsync syntax #rsync -av --delete /data1 server2:/data RPM version 2.68-3.1 Looking forward to your advice wrt to resolution or any other details required. Thanks in advance.

What happens if you run find /data1 -ls? Building the file list is a machine killer because it's very disk seek intensive.
