Hey list,

After moving about 20 GB of files, rsync uses a lot of memory when I try to do a full backup. Before, full backups used the memory available (2GB) and finished in about 2 hours. Now, rsync uses the complete memory + swap (total 6GB) and the backup takes forever. After 28 hours, I stopped the backup.

Do you know why rsync needs so much memory after I moved files? I use checksum caching, might that be the cause? Is there anyway I can make rsync to perform 'normally'?
