------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-02-25 12:53 ------- I've had rsync problems intermittantly in Gentoo. Gentoo uses rsync within portage package management system. Typically users run "emerge sync" to update their portage tree prior to building or maintaining any packages. After spending a whole day trying to make emerge sync run without a timeout in rsync/io.c I finally found my solution. I killed the frozen X window and mozilla on the console and then emerge sync worked reliably. I've come to the conclusion that the timeout error is completely bogus and the real issue is something that falsely looks like a timeout. See my bug report at Gentoo: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83254 Many Gentoo users suffer from this bug. When a system is borderline, one can keep trying and eventually the rsync works. Such users don't report bugs, they just plug along and live with it. Yesterday was the first day I've seen it fail very consistantly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
