We got bitten by this very bug! I spent a long time making sure it wasn't anything on our network but what clear things up for me was this:
copying from Hardy to Hardy works copying from Hardy to Solaris does not copying from Solaris to Solaris works So, obviously it's not the network devices that are wrong. So, I started digging and found a lot of information about stalling issues for scp and large files and the use of scp -vvv to hint at the problem. scp -l works fine if the limit is relatively small. (100Kb/s or so). very annoying. -- heavy network activity stalls network (on both ends) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/234484 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
