I usually run lsof to see what files rsync has open. Note there are usually two of them, IIRC one is the child of the other. You want to do an lsof on the child to see what file it has open and it is backing up. Use process monitor from sysinternals if you are on windows. Then use strace/truss to see what system calls are going on. That can tell you if it's waiting/deadlocked or actually doing something useful (you should see read/writes if it's working). If looking at the client side doesn't help try looking at the perl processes on the server side. Occasionally the server side and client side processes get into what looks like a dealock. Both of them just sit there polling for the other side. Not sure what causes that (one theory some bad info in the attributes file for the reference dump) but usually forcing a new full backup gets me past it. -- -- rouilj John Rouillard System Administrator Renesys Corporation 603-244-9084 (cell) 603-643-9300 x 111 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
