long time taken in building file-list

[Leaw, Chern Jian]

HI,
I have a 68GB of filesystem to be synchronized from 1 filesystem to another. However, it is really taking more than 4 hours to just build the file-list, and it's still in the process of building the file-list as show below, together with my script. I broke-down the rsync process by transferring the sub-filesystems within each main filesystem, to speed up the transfer rate. 

I'm using rsync version 2.5.6. 

This scenario did not previously occur, except today, when it seemed to have taken forever to to just build the list. This problem is not yet resolved.  

Could you tell me where did I go wrong? Is there a way right now which I could speed up the building of the file-list?  

Thanks in advance.
