I've been using rsync for some time (years) to generate many hardlink snapshots per day; but I'm seeing an odd new problem today.
the remote/destination host gets a file list from the source machine via ssh, and begins to write files until it "hangs". On this run only one file was transferred; on other runs many screenfulls went across + rsync --recursive --links --perms --times --group --owner --devices --specials --numeric-ids --protocol=29 --verbose --progress --exclude tmp --exclude *.tmp --exclude spool --exclude *.core --exclude *.boot --exclude *.filepart --exclude *.lock --exclude *.nobak --exclude .RDATA --exclude /repo --exclude /sandbox --exclude /soft/dist --link-dest=/ub0/bk/1/2008.04.29.0010.00//center //center/ lou.grid://ub0/bk/0/2008.05.08.1051.49//center/ building file list ... 580347 files to consider comp/GridTest/101v6.csv the dest host is rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29 and the source host is rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29 in the above run I specified the protocol because I assumed the src host had a newer version. the src host has just been setup, but the destination host has been receiving these snapshots for a while. After the hang, the destination host seems in perfect order (no login or disk or observable problems). I see the ssh connection from source to destination is still open but the remote rsync pids have all ended with no indication of error -- there is no rsync in the process tree at all; below, the rsync shell is/was 26770, now with no children... | | |-+= 03778 root sshd: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | | \--= 17062 root -ksh | | \--= 26770 root sshd: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |-+= 00594 root nfsd: master | | |--- 00475 root nfsd: server | | |--- 00601 root nfsd: server The only problem I see with the source host is the rsync command doesn't complete. What can I check? What is going on here??? // George -- George Georgalis, information system scientist <IXOYE>< -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
