rsync - Jul 2009 - DO NOT REPLY [Bug 6553] New: rsync hangs at filenames starting with an underscore

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6553

           Summary: rsync hangs at filenames starting with an underscore
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.6
          Platform: PPC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: gerald at stepman.com
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org

I'm using rsync 3.0.6 at Mac OS X 10.4.11/PPC to sync a harddisc to an
network
folder (via AFP). Everything is fine but if a file begins with an underscore (
_ ), rsync hangs (e.g. _x_.jpg). I tried to analyze the problem with a lots of
debugging options but I don't find a solutions (but to jump over these
files).
With rsync 2.9.6 and 2.6.6 it is the same problem.

I'm using configure without any further options.

does OSX have strace/truss utility ?

if yes, could you run rsync under control of such tracing tools (output
redirected to a file via ">/trace.log 2>&1") and then upload
the result ?

Rsync doesn't care about an underscore-starting file, but OS X sometimes
creates virtual files for associated data that are named for the primary file
with a leading underscore added.  The official rsync uses xattrs for this data,
so make sure you aren't mixing an apple-modified rsync (which creates extra
filenames) with an xattr-using rsync.
