Dear all

At our site files larger than 10BG are usually recreated faster than
restored from backup, therefore we added to the "RsyncExtraArgs" the parameter
"--max-size=10000000000".

Although this parameter is visible in the rsync command lines at both
the sender and the reciever (seen with ps ax|grep rsync - see at the end), 
larger files
are backuped nevertheless (max. file was about 65GB).

Any advise would be very much appreciated as our cpool grows rather fast
like this...

Thank you and best regards

Andreas

The version of rsync is 3.0.7 on the sender as well as on the reciever.
