rsync - Dec 2005 - DO NOT REPLY [Bug 3363] New: rsync gets stuck on first file

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3363

           Summary: rsync gets stuck on first file
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.6
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned@samba.org
        ReportedBy: domulys@umich.edu
         QAContact: rsync-qa@samba.org


I''m trying to use rsync to copy several pictures from my work computer
(xxx.xxx.xxx.edu) to my home computer.  I''m using cygwin.  This is what
I run
on my home computer:

  $ rsync -avu --progress Michael@xxx.xxx.xxx.edu:"My\ Pictures/" .

It successfully creates the first few directories, but when it starts on the
first file, it seems to get stuck.  The progress bar stays at all zeros, and it
doesn''t seem to be using any CPU.

  Michael@xxx.xxx.xxx.edu''s password:
  receiving file list ...
  1986 files to consider
  ./
  2004/
  2004/2004_10_03_Hoosiers/
  2004/2004_10_03_Hoosiers/IMG_1096.jpg
           0   0%    0.00kB/s    0:00:00

I don''t think I''m doing anything unusual or fancy... maybe
there''s something
about my syntax that is wrong and I''m just not seeing it.

------- Comment #1 from wayned@samba.org  2006-01-02 09:16 MST -------
The problem you're encountering is that pipes in cygwin lose data, and rsync
hangs waiting for that missing data to arrive.  Once cygwin gets their pipe
code fixed, rsync will work fine on cygwin.  In the meantime, you can avoid
this problem by avoiding a remote-shell -- i.e. switch over to running a daemon
and using daemon-mode's :: syntax (that may or may not be possible for you).

I'm resolving this as "LATER" because there is no other
appropriate resolution
that indicates that the bug lies not in rsync, but in the OS.  Later, we can
verify that it is fixed (once this is fixed in cygwin).
