Package: rsync Version: 2.6.4-2 Severity: normal I'm not sure if this bug is fixed, I couldn't verify that, as the woody system I'm using is ia64.
The problem is that when rsyncing via ssh tunnel ~ 100MB in 3 files from merkel.debian.org (ia64 woody) to my own computer (sarge i386), and on my own computer the target partition is completely full, merkel eats 45GB of RAM, causing its load to go above 50, and generally effectively DOS'ing the source box. I unsuccessfully tried to reproduce this with rsyncing from sarge to sarge on i386. It'd be good to try to reproduce this on i386 woody to sarge, but I didn't perform that test yet, mainly becaues I don't have an i386 woody machine readily available with a decent amount of RAM and no ulimits to actually see this bug on, and I'd rather not try to DOS another .debian.org machine. I hope you're indicently aware of any fix related to this, I couldn't find it in any changelog or something. I do hope this is fixed, this bug is just to be as certain as possible. If you believe this bug is fixed, please close it :). If you need help/more info, please let me know.
