That's somewhat different. I can't help you but I've also had rsync hang some time ago. It consumed almost 100% cpu indefinitely; I killed it after between 40min and 1h. It happened about 4 times, always when updating our eclipse mirror. The hang was at similar but different points. It was cpu bound and not io as you say. It occurred with 2 different upstream sources, one running v3.0.x and the other running 2.6.9, and here both with 3.0.6 and 3.1. All cases were with a standard recursive/delete scan. I didn't report it because I didn't have anything more specific. It never happened again. BTW, the eclipse repository has been a can of worms here. I also had corrupted log output from rsync with it... These corruptions are much more recent, I don't know if there's a relation between the log and hang events. >The strace is available.

But the distance between this info and fixing the problem can be light-years... -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
