Package: rsync Version: 2.6.4-6 Followup-For: Bug #308836 I am using rsync for off-site backup, over ssh. When backing up large directories, rsync times out rather systematically. I have set the timeout to 1200 seconds, and it times out on a directory with a bit over 70000 files (some 3 GB).
As a workaround, I detect the condition, and redo the files or subdirectories one by one, but that is slow, as there is a complete ssh handshake for every file, and some other overhead, like starting the ssh in the receiving end... I used to make a second try, with double the time out value (2400), but that didn't help very often. If it makes any difference, I am running Sarge on both ends, and have a 2.2 MB pipe out of the office (originating end), and 1Mbit/256Kbit line to my home (receiving end). -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.18hl3mremap Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages rsync depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
