--snipp-- It seems that pv is waiting for data from rsync, and rsync is waiting for data too (stuck in select()) and not closing the input to pv. So it's a deadlock. Same happens when you substitute pv with something else (like dd). It seems that those commands just don't behave like rsync expects them to.
--- Would a use of "stdbuf" (coreutils) help? It allows one to change the input and/or output buffering of the tools to from full buffered to line-buffered to unbuffered for tools normally connected via a pipe.
Haven't found a workaround short of killing everything: export RSYNC_RSH="sh -c 'pv -qL10k | ssh \"\$@\" | (pv -qL11k; kill \$\$)' ssh" kill is not a solution I'd be happy with. But I haven't found another.
