Package: unison Version: 2.27.57-1+b1 Severity: normal I'm using unison to sync some directories that contain large files. I rarely change files; mostly they just get added and deleted. (think video podcasts)
When one replica is empty and unison is "looking for changes", it takes a very long time for unison to process each file, there's a lot of disk activity, and iotop shows unison reading 30MB/s. I think it must be reading the entire file in to compare it to the one on the other side. But there isn't anything on the other side! If unison checked for presence before checking contents, it would be a lot faster in my use case (it will still have to read some of the files, of course, but deferring that would mean I could quickly do the interactive step of setting up the sync, then go off and do something else while it transfers the files to the device).
