...stupid question. I apologize in advance if it's already been covered, but I'm stumped... I'm using rsync to backup some file systems to a remote host. The transport is openssh-2.9.9p2. The problem does not occur when the transport is rsh. I'm invoking rsync as follows: rsync -RlHptgoD --numeric-ids -e "ssh" -rzx --stats . remotehost:/nfs/mirror But it hangs when there are large numbers of files in the "." filesystem. If I run with -vvv, I see lots of make_file entries as send_file_list starts sending the list of files to the remote host, but then it freezes...

If anyone is trying out my --files-from patch, please grab a new version from here: http://www.clari.net/~wayne/rsync-files-from.patch I fixed a potential bug in the pathname-reading code when pulling files. This version also sanitizes all read pathnames, as discussed elsewhere. Remember that this patch is still young, so use it for testing only. ..wayne..

...n the past day: find . -mtime -1 -print > /tmp/changed (normally, my list of candidate files is generated by some other means, this is just a test example). There were 5059 entries in /tmp/changed. I used my new options to sync up these files to another host as follows: time rsync -RlHptgoD --numeric-ids --source-list \ --send-dirs --no-implicit-dirs -xz --stats /dev/stdin \ remotehost:/extra_disk/tmp/tree1 < /tmp/changed Here were the reported statistics: Number of files: 5059 Number of files transferred: 5056 Total file size: 355514100 bytes...
