--- Begin Message ---Package: login Version: 1:4.4-4.1 Somehow /var/log/lastlog grew to a 110 TByte sparse file: # ls -al /var/log/lastlog -rw-rw-r-- 1 root utmp 110784817228 Feb 22 08:37 /var/log/lastlog # du -h /var/log/lastlog 88K /var/log/lastlog This affects rsync performance seriously, even when -S is used. To reproduce the problem, please try # time rsync -SHa /var/log/lastlog /dev/shm real 4m0.621s user 6m36.402s sys 0m58.913s Using our backup system as a destination for rsync I gave up waiting after 15 minutes. Do you think this could be improved? UID_MAX is 60000, but our user database is freeipa on CentOS 7.6. This might be related: # getent passwd admin admin:*:379400000:379400000:Administrator:/home/admin:/bin/bash Regards Harri
