FP Sync

Jim Salter and Alan Jude are back with a new episode of 2.5admins. This time they're talking about parallelizing your data sync using FP sync. The tool can be used to transfer files from self-hosted NFS servers to Amazon EFS. It's not just a speed up thing, running multiple r sinks in parallel over one large file system will also result in lower memory usage than one single whopping gigantic r sync run over the whole thing.
