Hi!
I've previously experienced problems with rsync locking up when using SSH.
Usually it starts OK, but after a while the transfer stops.
Today I had to copy 6 GB from one machine (Linux RedHat 6.2) to another
(Win2000AS SP1). A complete dump of the Linux box.
At first I wanted to use tar and dump to a single file, but ran into
problems with the 2 GB filesize limit, even when running thru gzip.
I then used "rsync -aux . /mnt/windows", but after a while the transfer
stopped just like when using SSH and with no error message. Rsync is still
running, but doing nothing at all.
When doing a "tar cf - . | (cd /mnt/windows; tar xf -)" the transfer works
fine, so it doesn't seem to be the network connection or Samba/Windows
playing tricks, and rcp & rdist also works fine.
The Rsync version is the default present on RH6.2, which is 2.4.1
Is it a known bug, or ?
...and what about the problems with SSH, have they been fixed in the current
2.4.6 ?
