Rsync Hangs when syncing two Windows Drives Locally..?
I am trying to keep two hard drives mirrored on a local machine. They are both 120 GB and I want to run rsync 3 times a day. I don't have an rsync server running and am only using the rsync.exe with a current cygwin1.dll. the command I use to sync the drives is: rsync -vvva --delete /cygdrive/d /cygdrive/e What do you guys think is the issue here? The command will start and I will see (make-file)4,"path to the file" continuously and then all of a sudden everything stops. It normally stops on the same file. What is the correct way for me to sync two windows drives on a Windows 2000 Professional system using rsync. It doesn't seem that I need an rsync server if it's all done locally, but I'm not sure. thanks marshall -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

Remove it, and it should no longer hang. Alternately, upgrade to the CVS version for a fix that makes -vvv work with large file sets. ..wayne..
