Rsync Performance In Windows

2003-06-16 Thread _Chris McKeever_
Has anyone else experienced high CPU usage when using RSYNC in windows 2000
server?  I am using the rsync.exe (and applicable DLL's) from the cygwin
installation (I am not however running cygwin on this machine).

The linux machine connecting to the windows rsync daemon has a very low
performance hit when the session is running (see below).  However, the
windows machine, which has a much faster CPU hits a CPU usage of 100%.

If anyone else has seen this, and/or can help alleviate the issue, that
would be great.  I am using rsync to backup across our network our branch
file servers.

CPU states:  1.5% user,  3.1% system,  0.0% nice, 95.2% idle
Mem:   126636K av,  124008K used,2628K free,   0K shrd,   26580K

rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (Broken pipe)

2003-06-16 Thread Nate Case
I'm experiencing some unexpected behavior with rsync v2.5.6.  After
looking around it seems like several people have experienced similar
problems in the past, but those appear to be old bugs that are solved now.
 Also doesn't appear to be any direct bugfixes made for this issue since
2.5.6.

The strange thing is that things seem to work when I use ssh for
transport.  However now I need to switch to using the rsync daemon
directly and this problem has arose.

I'm pushing local data to a remote rsync backup server:

---[snip]---
# rsync -a -v --modify-window=2 /backup/Source/Dir/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]::backup/dest
Password:
building file list ... rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4092
bytes: phase send_file_entry: Broken pipe
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(515)
---[snip]---

With more -v's, I end up with the same message at the end, but it's
preceeded by a bunch of lines like this (filenames altered):

make_file(3,file1)
make_file(3,file2)
make_file(3,file3)
make_file(3,file4)

It stops on the same file each time.  I tried deleting this file to see if
it's just choking on a particular file (or type of file), but in that case
it just chokes on the next file (different type) in the directory.  The
files in this directory are no bigger than 2MB.  If I remove the
subdirectory entirely, it still just dies on the next file it encounters.

The directories that I'm syncing do have a large number of files, but as I
mentioned earlier, it does seem to work when using -e ssh.  I do not
seem to be running out of memory.  I also tried the same parameters but
breaking it up into smaller subdirectories, and it still failed after X
amount of files with the same error (I did not determine whether or not X
is always the same with using other directories).  Note that this is
always occuring in the building file list stage, and not the actual file
transfer.

After looking at io.c, it seems like the problem (rather, the symptom) for
this error message is a failed write() call (which explains the Broken
Pipe message to stderr).  I thought maybe --blocking-io would avoid this
issue, but it still happened when using --blocking-io.

Does anyone have any ideas about what could be causing this?

Thanks,

- Nate Case [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Trouble rsyncing from Windows to Unix

2003-06-16 Thread Paul English

I'm using Cygwin on Windows which I just downloaded and I'm trying to set
up an rsync backup. I'm using an .bat script to copy the files, but it
gives the error message:

Skipping directory /cygdrive/d/user_dpl


Following is the script:


@echo off

C:
C:\cygwin\bin\rsync.exe -e /usr/bin/ssh -l dplbackup /cygdrive/d/user_dpl 
electric:/raid/backups/dpllaptop


I'm confused, since it should not be skipping anything - I no excludes at
all.

 Did you compile from the sources, or did you grab the cygwin binary?

I just did the standard install (which I dont think was a full source
compile)
 
 I suggest you build it from the sources and apply the 
 craigb-perf.diff 
 patch which is in the patches directory in the 2.5.6 
 distribution. This 
 patch makes all the difference for Windows (system calls cost a lot 
 under cygwin).
 

as I said, I am not running cygwin on that machine, only rsync which I
copied from the other cygwin install.  Do you suggest that I run cygwin on
the windows box that I am using rsync?

 If you don't want to compile it yourself, I have an older version

Re: Trouble rsyncing from Windows to Unix

2003-06-16 Thread Trey Nolen

You may have two points of trouble.  First, you need to specify something to
get it to be recursive. I use -a, which covers most everything. I also use R
for relative paths. I think that you might also have  trouble with  the
/usr/bin/ssh -l dplbackup part.  Try this:

C:\cygwin\bin\rsync.exe -aR -e c:\cygwin\bin\ssh.exe -l dplbackup
/cygdrive/d/user_dpl electric:/raid/backups/dpllaptop

OR, if you don't do c:\cygwin\bin\ , you might try
/cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/ssh.exe

I have never been able to get the -l command to work in Windows, though.
Instead, you might try:
C:\cygwin\bin\rsync.exe -aR -e c:\cygwin\bin\ssh.exe /cygdrive/d/user_dpl

Re: Interactive Rsync Authentication Problem

2003-06-16 Thread Martin Pool
On 29 May 2003, Andrew Klein [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 The getpassphrase() call is identical to getpass() except it returns 256 
 chars maximum.  Of course you would have to mess with autoconf but I 
 don't think that should be too hard.  Based on the autoconf stuff in the 
 latest rsync release, the compile check would be something along these 
 lines:
 
 AC_CACHE_CHECK([for getpassphrase],rsync_cv_HAVE_GETPASSPHRASE,[
 AC_TRY_COMPILE([#include unistd.h],
 [char *pass;  pass = getpassphrase(Password: );],
 rsync_cv_HAVE_GETPASSPHRASE=yes,rsync_cv_HAVE_GETPASSPHRASE=no)])
 if test x$rsync_cv_HAVE_GETPASSPHRASE = xyes; then
AC_DEFINE(HAVE_GETPASSPHRASE)
 fi

Can you try that and tell us if it actually works?

It's OK if you can't get the autoconf stuff straight, but it would be
good to know that getpassphrase() actually solves the problem before
worrying. 

Better yet, send a patch that adds an appropriately-licenced
readpassphrase()/getpassphrase() to the lib/ directory?

 I love the fact that the man page for getpass() under Linux says don't use
 this, but does not provide any alternative. Mmmm... Linux - it's so
 secure! ;-)

Solaris fnmatch(ass, hat, 0) used to return true!

Re: support@microsoft e-mails is a VIRUS

   Is there anyway you can stop sending these e-mails to everybody on the list?
   I've received maybe 3 or 4 of them since yesterday.
 
  One possible solution to reduce the spam/virus traffic on the list would
  be to close the list so that only people on the list can send to it.
 
 The rsync team has, so far, rejected that approach.  We want
 to keep the list as open as possible.

Many people post to the list without subscribing, because it is the
main support forum for a product.  It is not really closed in the
way that a list for a development team is.

So there would be a lot of mails blocked.  If they're automatically
bounced then it is annoying for rsync users.  If they're deferred then
the delay is annoying, and somebody needs to spend time reading
through the queue.  At the moment I don't think that would be a good
use of time.

The only real solution is to send spammers and virus writers to jail.

In the mean time we have set up spam and virus filters.  As jw says,
you are only seeing a small fraction of the literally hundreds of
attacks we suffer every day.

Re: Feature request: true multiple sources

 I am a big fan of rsync, but the more I use it, the more I
 become frustrated at rsync's asymetrical functionality.
 For instance, I can do this:
 
 rsync /A/ /B/ desthost:/AB
 
 but not this:
 
 rsync srchost:/A/ srchost:/B/ /AB

rsync allows remote shell wildcards:

  rsync 'srchost:/{A,B}/' /AB

The limitations are in your own mind.  (Well, at least this one
is. :-)

Re: Multistreaming rsync

 Newbie here!
 
 I am not sure if this is possible or not, but is it possible to multistream
 the connections that rsync is making?  Say I had a directory with a bunch of
 huge sized files.  Is there a way of telling rsync to make multiple
 connections for different groups of files?  Am I making sence?

Just run different rsync processes for different subdirectories.
There is no support in the program itself. 

 Are there tcp window limitations on rync like ftp has?

What do you mean?

TCP windows are pretty much invisible to applications.
