<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Compression won't help for 2 reasons:<br></div>1) Image data is already compressed<br><br></div>2) It sounds like you're syncing between local mounts, in which case the data would be uncompressed before writing to the destination, which is the local mount, which then sends it over the network. I hope rsync is smart enough to ignore the compression option when syncing between local sources.<br>
<br></div>Compression is only going to help if you're syncing between 2 separate machines and the data is being transferred over the network by rsync itself -- not when using a network file system.<br><div><br><br></div>
