Hi all, I am new to this list. I have a problem trying to mirror a cvs repository. I suspect the error happens when getting a directory containing many files. I did a test by creating 200 5k files in a directory named tmp, but It hangs after building file list. When I try to run it with -vvv: $ rsync -essh -avvvz cheepy@gateway.internet4u.com.au:tmp . This is the end of the printout (before I press ^C): .... recv_generator(tmp/94.t,195) recv_generator(tmp/95.t,196) recv_generator(tmp/96.t,197) recv_generator(tmp/97.t,198) recv_generator(tmp/98.t,199) recv_generator(tmp/99.t,200) generate_files phase=1 recv_files(201) starting send_file_list done send_files starting It hangs just there. I tried to attach strace to the forked rsync process, this is the result: select(6, [5], NULL, NULL, {14, 630000}) = 0 (Timeout) select(6, [5], NULL, NULL, {60, 0}) = 0 (Timeout) select(6, [5], NULL, NULL, {60, 0}) = 0 (Timeout) select(6, [5], NULL, NULL, {60, 0}) = 1 (in [5], left {8, 320000}) --- SIGINT (Interrupt) --- Could anyone point me somewhere that possibly can help me? Is this related to firewall problem? I used rsync version 2.5.6cvs that comes with debian (both source and destination machine are debian woody)... Thank you very much for your help and an excellent software. --- Badai Aqrandista Cheepy (?) _________________________________________________________________ Click here for the latest chart ringtones: http://ringtones.com.au/ninemsn/control?page=/ninemsn/main.jsp
