rsync with fadvise - less file system cache eviction

[kernelOfTruth]

Hi,


I'm surprised that the following patch / feature hasn't surfaced yet in gentoo's rsync as a use-flag:

I'm backing up my data daily via rsync and from time to time lag or the effect can be noticable so that e.g. sound, video or the GUI in generals lags & stutters



anyone using it ?


Cheers !
