New experimental feature. In the General tab I have:
[X] Enable Delta-Synchronization for files larger than 1 MB
In my sync area, I have a folder
$ ln -lh pdf
-rw-r--r-- 1 testy testy 8,3M Jun 17 17:48 x1.pdf
-rw-r--r-- 1 testy testy 8,3M Jun 17 17:48 x2.pdf
-rw-r--r-- 1 testy testy 8,3M Jun 17 17:48 x3.pdf
-rw-r--r-- 1 testy testy 8,3M Jun 17 17:48 x4.pdf
-rw-r--r-- 1 testy testy 8,3M Jun 17 17:48 x5.pdf
All 5 files have identical contents.
-
Conntect with server, wait until initial sync is done.
-
on the client side, duplicate the content cp -a pdf pdf2
-
a sync starts and takes ca 30 seconds to upload.
This timing is very consistent, with or without delta sync. Restarted the client to make sure the changed delta sync setting is applied.
-
Use selective sync to disable and then re-enable syncing of the pdf2 folder.
-
Upon re-enable, a sync starts and takes ca 15 seconds to download.
Again this timing is very consistent, with or without delta sync. Restarted the client to make sure the changed delta sync setting is applied.
Expected result:
- With selective sync both upload and download should be much faster, as both client and server can find identical files in folder pdf.
- With many identical files in one folder, both upload and download should be much faster, even without the extra folder.
