--- Comment #7 from roland <devz...@web.de> --- please mind the note from this posting when using pv: http://superuser.com/questions/778066/using-pv1-to-limit-rsync-speed --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. 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. Of course using $$ was the lazy way out, should kill pv instead but how to obtain the pid in a oneliner? pidof just gives any pv pids. Querying their respective parent pids seemed a bit odd for a oneliner. Looking forward to a real solution... ;) --snipp-- -- 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.
