rsync file priority #33

Open elben opened 14 years ago

elben commented 14 years ago

Currently, if rsync cannot finish transferring the dump, it would never get to transfer the commit time file.

Could this be fixed by running two rsync instances? If we run one for the video files and one for the commit_time files, then wouldn't the commit_time files always arrive in a timely manner since they're so small?

This is in my opinion the right way of doing things. Conceptually, the dump file and the commit time can be split up to the data (dump) and the metadata (commit time). And it's usually better to separate data and metadata resources.
