Re: (CYGWIN) Rsync Stalling Upon first file transfer.

Since you have a setup that hangs consistently, you could do an enormous favor for all rsync-on-Cygwin users if you brought up the problem again on the Cygwin list and worked with the Cygwin people to get it solved once and for all. I would do it except that I don't use Cygwin. As a package maintainer, I tried a few times (over the years) to track this issue, but to no avail, mostly because I never could reproduce it consistently, but partly for lack of time or even knowledge (I know pretty much nothing of Windows internals, that's why I use Cygwin in the first place)... and here's where the guilt kicks in hard :P Lapo -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
file statistics collection using stat(2) data obtained by rsync
Hi, I'm using rsync + hard-link copy as a backup mechanism (happily :-) and wish now to collect file usage statistics per user per rsync operation. rsync must preform a stat(2) or eqiuvalent on each file to determine if it needs to access the file content for synchronisation, and I would like to 'piggy back' my statistics on the stat(2) details that rsync has collected (and thus avoid generating all those stat(2)s again with another directory heirarchy traversal). Has this been done? Is there an 'API' for plugging in a file statistics collector? Assuming that this is not a poor design consideration and that no existing mechanism exists, I will happy write this. In which case, I would like to ask if others would be interested in this, and if so, what sort of statistics collection they would be interested in. [my concept is to collect file totals into access time slots (e.g (0-3), (3-6), (6-12), (12-36), 36 + month slots) per user and dump this data to file for collection by a tool to then deliver it to RRDTool for pretty graphs].

Does that give you everything you want? If not, what other statistics do you want?
