The patches for 3.0.5pre1.

[rsync/rsync-patches.git] / preallocate.diff

This patch adds the --preallocate option that asks rsync to preallocate the
copied files.  This slows down the copy, but should reduce fragmentation on
systems that need that.

To use this patch, run these commands for a successful build:

    patch -p1 <patches/preallocate.diff
    ./prepare-source
    ./configure
    make

+dit(bf(--preallocate)) This tells the receiver to allocate each destination
+file to its eventual size before writing data to the file.  Rsync will only use
+the real filesystem-level preallocation support provided by bf(fallocate)(2) or
+Cygwin's bf(posix_fallocate)(3), not the slow glibc implementation that writes
+a zero byte into each block.  If the receiver is remote, this nonstandard
+option only works if the receiver also has the preallocation patch.
+
+Without this option on MS Windows, very large destination files tend to be
+broken into thousands of fragments; advising Windows ahead of time of the
+eventual file size using this option usually reduces the number of
+fragments to one.  The usefulness of this option on Linux is yet to be tested.
+
 dit(bf(-n, --dry-run)) This makes rsync perform a trial run that doesn't
 make any changes (and produces mostly the same output as a real run).  It
 is most commonly used in combination with the bf(-v, --verbose) and/or
