We've been using rsync to send updates to our webservers from a central
location for years. All the webservers used to be Windows 2000 Server running
rsync 2.6.3. Recently I've been trying to replace them with Debian servers
with rsync 2.6.9. The central file server is a Windows 2000 Server using the
cwRsync binary. It was also 2.6.3 until I upgraded it to use 2.6.9 also.
The initial rsync (2.6.3 on Windows) to the Debian server (2.6.9) went without
any hiccup. However, any other rsync always hangs on a small file shortly
after starting. I tried upgrading rsync to 2.6.9 on the sending side. I tried
using older protocol versions (28,27). Then I read the website and searched
google for possible information. From what I read from google, this seems to
be a common problem with rsync on windows. The rsync website suggests to run
rsync with strace on the receiving side, but doesn't suggest what to do with
the data once obtaining it.
Here is the last portion of the dump file given by 'strace -f /usr/bin/rsync
--no-detach --daemon --config /etc/rsyncd.conf' where it stops transferring.
The problem is that it doesn't give any error, not even a connection error, but
just stops transferring any data.
Does anyone have any solutions for this or suggestions to try?
