This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1707686 I am copying this bug because: Description of problem: It always uses rsync to sync data even though use_tarssh is set to true. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mainilne How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup geo-rep between two gluster volumes and start it 2. Set use_tarssh to true 3. Write a huge file on master 4. ps -ef | egrep "tar|rsync" while the big file is syncing to slave. It show rsync process instead of tar over ssh Actual results: use_tarssh has not effect on sync-engine. It's always using rsync. Expected results: use_tarssh should use tarssh and not rsync Additional info:
