I have two Azure VMs. Both are Extra Small. Both run Linux.
Yesterday at about 2pm I started and rsync between one and the other. As of 7am it's still running. There's about 61GB of data to transfer and so far 39GB is done.
That works out to about 650KB/sec, which is pretty anemic. I'd expect at least an order of magnitude better (and see that routinely on VPSes from lesser quality providers).
Load average on both sides is under 0.3 so it's not like I'm taxing the CPU. This is going over their public addresses - example1.cloudapp.net to example2.cloudapp.net. example2.cloudapp.net's destination was empty when this started so rsync isn't doing any computation.
Thoughts?
