rsync / cygwin hanging problem

2003-11-19 Thread Jim Salter
Has any progress ever been made towards fixing the problem causing rsync processes to hang in the cygwin environment? I've tried just using Unison in the windows environment, since it has a native port, but, um. Unison is probably great for what it IS intended for, but it absolutely sucks

minimalist rsync on windows

2003-11-19 Thread Brian
Hi, Is the rsync-minimalist still supported for windows? I am using Windows XP Home. I am testing, to get a solution for a client. The minimalist looked very nice--a cygwin.dll and an rsync and an ssh.exe. However, I can connect with ssh, but not with rsync over ssh using these files. I have

recommendation (if i recall correctly) is to not use rsync over ssh on windows. Rsync apparently works OK as a daemon on whendoze and when accessing an rsync daemon. It does not make me happy to read this. Anyway, I like to describe my experience of the last two days, maybe this helps someone,

Large RAM ( 4G) and rsync still dies?

2003-11-19 Thread rsync
Hello. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this: We've got a production server with _LOTS_ of files on it. The system is a dual XEON with 4GB of RAM. During the evening, the load is very low. Linux shows (via 'top') that approximately 3G of RAM is cached RAM, and 500M is buffered. That,
