[Dirvish] Dirvish speed and security

[Leopold Palomo-Avellaneda]

Hi,

first of all I would like to say that I'm a newbie with dirvish, so I'm sorry 
if I ask some trivial and bored question.

I'm using dirvish 1.2.1-1, from a debian etch. I have created my vaults and 
configured and running the complete system. I have a nfs mount where I put 
the backup. It simply works. 

Howeber, I have a very poor transfer rate. To create the init backup I need 
two days to transfer about 90G, and some days, if we have a lot of 
modifications, the dirvish have not finished their work, so, when we work 
again the backup is not finished occasioning:

rsync warning: some files vanished before they could be transferred (code 24) 
at main.c(977) [sender=2.6.9]

For example a log could show:


Number of files: 1158919
Number of files transferred: 12581
Total file size: 130790723840 bytes
Total transferred file size: 2866903534 bytes
Literal data: 2863343931 bytes
Matched data: 0 bytes
File list size: 25915562
File list generation time: 877.811 seconds
File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds
Total bytes sent: 2891149484
Total bytes received: 1246549

sent 2891149484 bytes  received 1246549 bytes  124406.81 bytes/sec
total size is 130790723840  speedup is 45.22

How can I improve the speedup? I have no problems about it in the way that the 
backup is done during the night when "normally" no ones is working.


About security, the permissions to the log file are r-r-r, so everybody could 
read it. There's some way that I could change this mask in dirvish?

Regards,

Leo
