rsync - May 2006 - yet another "rsync hangs" question

Hello,

I am sure the list has seem many of these questions, but I did not find one
relating to my problem.

I am using rsync 2.6.6 on windows xp professional and cygwin (latest) to sync
files between the hard-drives and the portable drive.  There is no other rsync
daemon that I am contacting.

Even if I try to transfer files from one subdirectory to another on the same
drive, rsync will hang.  The command is

rsync -avvvvvvvvv /some-dir/ ./test

Here is what the last few lines look like

... long list of lines like the following
[reciever] i=92 2 ....
recv_file_list done
get_local_name count=93 ./test
created directory ./test
recv_files(93) starting
generator starting pid=3552 count=93 <========= last displayed line.  The
rest are after I hit ctrl-C
_exit_cleanup(code=20, file=/home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.6/rsync.c,
line=163): entered
rsync error: received SIGUSR1 or SIGINT (code 20) at
/home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.6/rsync.c(163)
_exit_cleanup(code=20, file=/home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.6/rsync.c,
line=163): about to call exit(20)
/mv-etc/temp
>rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 107 bytes: phase
"unknown" [generator]: Connection reset by peer (104)
_exit_cleanup(code=12, file=/home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.6/io.c,
line=1099): entered
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at
/home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.6/io.c(1099)
_exit_cleanup(code=12, file=/home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.6/io.c,
line=1099): about to call exit(12)
  

Any pointers?

Right now I am managing with three bash scripts that use find and mkdir and
time-stamp files, but rsync would be a preferable canned solution.

Many thanks,

Mirko

As far as I know, cygwin hasn't yet fixed their pipe code.  Pipes are
used any time that rsync needs to communicate with another program on
the same machine, such as when it uses ssh to run the remote rsync
command.  You might try using --blocking-io to see if that makes any
difference.  If not, other folks have worked around the problem by using
an rsync daemon connection (since this bypasses the cygwin pipe code);
to do this, you'll need to run a daemon on one of the systems, switch
the initiating command to use daemon syntax in its remote arg, and
perhaps open up the daemon port in your firewall (if it is blocked).
