Same problem.
The getting estimate takes forever and then some,
so you may have to change your etime to someting larger (7200 for 2 hours).
(and yes, i wouldn;t be surprrised if it indeed takes 2 hours to ewstimate
a latrge disk, esp if it's full and you need to get 3 estimate (level 0,
current incremental level, current incremental level +1).
Alternatively you can patch client-src/sendsize.c as below, define
USE_GENERIC_CALCSIZE and recompile sendsize
/* Now in the child process */
if(strcmp(est->program, "DUMP") == 0)
dump_calc_estimates(est);
else
#ifndef USE_GENERIC_CALCSIZE
# ifdef SAMBA_CLIENT
if (strcmp(est->program, "GNUTAR") == 0 &&
est->amname[0] == '/' && est->amname[1] == '/')
smbtar_calc_estimates(est);
else
# endif
# ifdef GNUTAR
if (strcmp(est->program, "GNUTAR") == 0)
gnutar_calc_estimates(est);
else
# endif
#endif
generic_calc_estimates(est);
