Two hours into this now and it seems to be running somewhat correctly -
strace (no truss here) shows and has shown a lot of file activity on the
first gtar process since beginning. However, the gzip process has only
recently been showing any activity (as in well over an hour after the
gtar process began). The second gtar shows lots of reads and writes now,
but it doesn't appear to have begun doing anything until after the gzip
started. This is based on the observation that for the longest time an
strace on gzip and the second gtar only showed something like "read(0,
".
My assumption is that the process looks something like the following
(lots of switches stripped for brevity)?
gtar -c /home | gzip | gtar -tf - > /dev/null
If this is the case, then the culprit appears to be the first gtar, as
it has taken forever to start piping data into gzip, and thus nothing
was written to the last pipe
and dumper timed out.
If these assumptions are correct, any suggestions? If I've messed up the
logic, I'll be happy to try to provide more info.
