Hello Everyone: I've been trying to get rsync using --bwlimit using openssh for transport without success. Here's what I get: % rsync --bwlimit=20 from.com:/dir/file.txt /dest user@from.com's password: **** rsync: unrecognized option `--bwlimit=20' unexpected EOF in read_timeout I tried specifying ssh transport using both the -e option and by setting the RSYNC_RSH

My impression when running with --bwlimit in combination with compression -z is that the speed to the filesystem is limited to the value given in --bwlimit. This must be contrary to the intention with --bwlimit. David

Hi, I have two issues with the --bwlimit parameter to rsync which are not mentioned in the FAQ (please correct me if I am wrong): 1. When both an rsync client and an rsync daemon specify the --bwlimit parameter, the client's value overrides the server's value. This could be used in a DOS attack if the client uses a larger value than the server intended. The documentation also is

Hi list, I couldn't find anything related to this, on mailing lists or even bugzilla, so here it is. A problem with this combination exists in the new 2.6.3 where the bwlimit code got rewritten and is not present at <= 2.6.2. The problem is that on io.c:882 bwlimit_writemax is also used to control the bandwidth, but it is not initialized for the daemon mode. At options.c:772 you can see

[I'm not subscribed, please CC me on replies] Some time after 2.6.0 the --bwlimit code was enhanced, but the code now doesn't work anymore when you set the bandwidth limit for the daemon and generates error log entries like: 2005/01/13 08:17:03 [29636] rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 12 \ bytes: phase "unknown" [receiver]: Success (0) 2005/01/13 08:17:03 [29636]

Does "bwlimit" option really work on rsync locally? We have one type of harddisk and want to slow down rsync I/O on disk because I don't want the disk head gets too hot. While I'm trying to use --bwlimit option, it looks the rsync speed was slowed down, but iostat is not improved at all. In both case the block written speed is increased by the same amount. How could I really

Hello! I cant get the bwlimit option working right. If i set this option over 400 kbyte per sec i still only get 400kbyte per sec, whether wich value i set. I try this option with a 100MB big file. I use a debian stable System with rsync version 2.5.6cvs protocol version 26. Can someone tell me how i can this get working? thx Rene dpkg -l "rsync*" ii rsync 2.5.5-0.1 fast remote

I am using rsync version 3.0.7. My rsync server is running on the cloud. I have set the bwlimit to 10 i.e. 10 KBps. When I try to sync files the bwlimit is as what is set. I have enabled storage of partial files. When a communication break causes rsync to time out during a transfer the partial file is stored in the partial directory. I then try rsync again when the link is up. At this point I see

Hello List. is there any way to add an bwlimit to an SSH Singel USe Deamon? My cutomer want to use ssh and i want to set an Bandwith limit. As long that bwlimit is not an rsyncd.conf option i see no way to add ist for ssh connections.

Hi, Any one give me some sample code with bwlimit option. what's is the std/ recommended value for this?

Wayne replied to my original note which said that in a special situation that I was using to probe rsync to build a behavioral model that bwlimit= resulted in bimodal behavior around a 4000 kbyte/sec value. He responded with a patch that I have tested in a limited way. I have a push scenario from a local site to a remote site. I use a file that is 6.3 Megabyte in size whose checksums (when

Hi, Is there a way to do rsync with varying bwlimit during the transfer. I tried to look using Linux 'tc' but it looks trivial. Do somebody has working model for it? Our pipe is limited and we don't want to give everything to rsync, We have situation where we want rsync transfers to scale up or down within a specified bandwidth limit. For e.g. if there are two (or multiple) rsyncs

mhh - interesting question...... what about combining the power of throttle ( http://linux.die.net/man/1/throttle ) or similar tools (there are some more like this) with rsync ? via this hint: http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2006-February/014623.html i got a clue how to combine rsync and throttle and gave it a try : cat throttle-wrap #!/bin/bash throttle -k 1 -s 1| "$@" rsync

I received a bug report that starting with 2.6.3, rsync fails when started from inetd with the --bwlimit option (actually, I narrowed it down to that :-). Earlier rsync versions did work. What I see from the strace output is that the rsync --daemon process sets fd 0 to ON_NONBLOCK, then does a select() on fd 0 for write (which shows it's ready for writing), and then does a write of zero

I am using rsync in a situation where the amount of bwlimit I want to use changes depending on the time of day. for example, I start rsync at 2am when no-one else is using the system, so I want it to use 100k/sec. At 9am, it is still running, but as the bandwidth of the link it's using now needs to be shared with other users, I would like rsync to only use 10k/sec. Any way of doing this
