All,
I am trying to fetch files from a remote machines (W2K - rsync 2.6.3) to my
local system (HPUX 11i - rsync 2.6.3).
On the remote machine I made a folder /rsync/files and placed 816 files empty in
there.
(I am using empty file to help in debugging - no need to really fetch empty
files :)
One the local system I run the following command:
rsync --verbose --archive \
--copy-links --progress --stats --size-only --partial \
--rsh="ssh -l dbrsync"
\
--rsync-path=/bin/rsync263 \
dbrsync@remote:/rsync/files \
/rsync-data
When I first run the rsync (needing to pull all the files), It times out about
10% of the time. If I
decrease the file count I am able to fetch the files. If I increase the file
count I am not able to
fetch the files at all (timeout errors):
rsync error: timeout in data send/receive (code 30) at io.c(153)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (6845 bytes received so far) [generator]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(359)
After I have synced the folders, I can run rsync with no issues with at least
twice the file count.
This problem does not surface when I am syncing files from another HPUX 11i
machine.
Any ideas? Thank you,
George

One solution is to switch the rsync under MS Windows into a daemon and use that -- when rsync is handling the sockets directly (instead of using a remote shell for the transfer) it appears to avoid the hang. ..wayne..
