rsync - Jul 2004 - timeout issue

Hi,
      I have 2 linux machines on a Gig network. What would be the reason for
getting a timeout error.  We have --timeout=600 in the command.  The version
of
rsync is 2.6.2. There are no evident network problems otherwise.

The command used is

rsync -a --delete  --timeout=600 --stats --rsh="ssh -p 22" /localdata/
server:/remotedata/
io timeout after 600 seconds - exiting
rsync error: timeout in data send/receive (code 30) at io.c(143)


Other rsyncs between the same 2 machines work when less data is transferred.

Please advise as to what I can tune to get past this.

Thanks,
Sameer

is it perhaps your SSH timing out when its waiting on file lists to be
 built?

Try changing --delete to --delete-after and see if your timeout problem
either goes away or switches to after the files are transferred.  If so,
the pause for the receiver to build a list of files to allow it to
figure out what to delete is timing out.  The only solution to that (at
the moment) is to increase the timeout.
