I've been playing with rsync as a back up tool (yes, that's right.. I lost some important config files, didn't I.. doesn't that focus the mind!)
When i did this: rsync -a -e ssh /etc me@elsewhere:/backup .....rsync hung during the process. I decided to use the -vvv option to figure out what was going on, and lo! the damn thing worked perfectly. Several tests suggest that -vvv slows the transfer down, thus fixing what ever makes it hang. Is this perhaps a bug? Any other suggestions?
