hello,
When I use the command rsync -a .mozilla/ user@xxx:.mozilla --delete-after from laptop A to laptop B using the ssh protocol, it takes a very long time. This does not happen if I use the same command rsync -a between laptop A and a USB drive connected to A. Only .mozilla and .thunderbird, to a lesser extent, are affected. Copying the Documents directory takes a few seconds.
I modified the command by adding “verbose,” and I noticed that when rsync reached the <profile>/storage/default/ directory, the transfer speed was very, very slow. Here is an example of a directory where everything was almost at a standstill:I asked the same question on mozilla.org, as some forum members may have already encountered this type of problem.
