https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2766 Summary: rsync endless loop Product: rsync Version: 2.6.5 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: core AssignedTo: wayned@samba.org ReportedBy: cs@emlix.com QAContact: rsync-qa@samba.org Hello, for me rsync seems to get stuck in an endless loop (burning cpu cycles at 100%) when syncing between two local directories. This hang only occurs once in a while (every other week) while the same command succeeds many times daily. Here are the details I gathered so far: backup # ps axf PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND [...] 24691 ?
