rsync -avnp remote::gif/ `find /home/www/html/ -maxdepth 1
-name "*.[j,g][pg,if]*"` /tmp/
If I run this on the local machine, the rsync server, it takes this
long:
---> root at server (0.34)# time find /home/www/html/ -maxdepth 1
-name "*.[j,g][pg,if]*" -type f

However if I run it from a client, it will take forever. Too much to
run, it seems. Our directory structure has well over a million files.
And this is just one directory under /home/www/html. We can't afford the
cpu and system load to traverse everything, this is why I am using the
find command. Shouldn't this work? It does come back with retrieving the
list from the remote server.
