I'm having a problem where my rsync processes don't exit.
They finish their task.. but they don't exit. I'll see at the
end, if i'm running -vv, something like:
total: matches=727 tag_hits=771 false_alarms=0 data=2034655738
but the process continues to run, but not do anything apparent.
If I strace the process, I see a ton of:
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 1000}) = 0 (Timeout)
gettimeofday({1005367039, 462927}, NULL) = 0
wait4(1220, 0xbffff950, WNOHANG, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1005367039, 463050}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1005367039, 463109}, NULL) = 0
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 20000}) = 0 (Timeout)
gettimeofday({1005367039, 482839}, NULL) = 0
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 1000}) = 0 (Timeout)
gettimeofday({1005367039, 492969}, NULL) = 0
wait4(1220, 0xbffff950, WNOHANG, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1005367039, 493093}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1005367039, 493152}, NULL) = 0
Any idea what's going on?
I did a brief search but didn't find anything. I can look
more, but thought I'd ask in case anyone happens to know
off the top of their head just what I should be looking at.
BTW, when I run a small rsync as a test, it seems to work fine, at
the end I get:
total: matches=0 tag_hits=0 false_alarms=0 data=0
root/
wrote 91 bytes read 36 bytes 84.67 bytes/sec
total size is 0 speedup is 0.00
and the process exits just fine.
In the cases where rsync isn't exiting, i've let some of them
run for over a day, still nothing.
Thanks,
