--- Comment #2 from Hansjoerg Lipp <sa...@hlipp.de> --- Created attachment 13760 --> https://bugzilla.samba.org/attachment.cgi?id=13760&action=edit Simplified test case I could simplify the test case even further, the attached test script does not even need any example files any more. Simply execute ./mktest 5000 on a Linux system. This creates files consisting of few 0-bytes in the manner described above and executes rsync as described. I can't really help debugging this as I'm not familiar with the code, the communication of the processes appears quite complex. I only got this far (current git): Commenting out the line send_msg((enum msgcode)code, buf, len, 0) in rwrite() in log.c makes the error go away. When printing the values iobuf.msg.len, iobuf.msg.len + needed, and iobuf.msg.size in send_msg() in io.c, it can be seen that the hang occurs as soon as (iobuf.msg.len + needed) exceeds iobuf.msg.size (32768), i.e. when perform_io(needed, PIO_NEED_MSGROOM) has to be called. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
