rsync - Nov 2005 - Clarification on Rsync timeout

Hello All,

Thanks in advance.

I am using HP-UX 11.23 OS and Rsync-2.6.6 version.

While running rsync with the following command, it shows the following output.

# rsync -vrt --timeout=1 --files-from=- /tmp/rsync_source/ /tmp/rsync_dest/
building file list ... io timeout after 2 seconds -- exiting
rsync error: timeout in data send/receive (code 30) at io.c(183)

Can I know the reason for timeout only after 2 seconds?

Best Regards,
-- Balu.

--timeout=1 :-)

Try --timeout=30, and remember: --timeout is the maximum time for
"building file list" etc., not the network timeout.
