faster rsync of huge directories

[Tom Rosenfeld]

Hi,

I am a great fan of rsync for copying filesystems. However I now have a
filesystem which is several hundred gigabytes and apparently has a lot of
small files. I have been running rsync all night and it still did not start
copying as it is still building the file list.
Is there any way to get it to start copying as it goes. Or do any of you
have a better tool?

Thanks,
-tom
