Re: local rsync hangs with big files
Strange thing is, when I run rsync with strace it completes without errors. That would make sense, as the hang seems to be caused by rsync writing too much data to the network too fast, and stracing rsync would slow it There's no network involved here. down. Do whatever works: strace rsync, or use --bwlimit. If you are interested, you could experiment with --bwlimit values and tweaks to the --bwlimit implementation to see what gives you the fastest hang-free run. --bwlimit works :/ I'm confused why this started recently, for many months I've had no problems. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Yes, I suppose I meant the local pipes among the rsync processes.
