Rsync and Freeze

[Eric Houbron]

Hello / Bonjour

after rsync, i have CPU to 100%
and freeze my VM

i can just "stop" it and "start"
how to kill the rsync process or limit the CPU usage ??
Thanks !!!!

Do you use virtio or scsi for the disks? I had the same issues with scsi, after changing to virtio everything is much smoother.

Just an idea. You could try adding a bwlimit to the rsync to prevent it from pushing large amounts of traffic which should keep the cpu usage down. Is this a local rsync, or over ssh?

same issu with virtio
i'd try "nice -n 19 rsync..." same probleme
i'd try bwlimit... but will RE-try with "nice"...
