I can replicate this issue on Ubuntu 18.04 with kernel 4.15.0-101-generic x86_64 and rsync 3.1.2 protocol version 31.
As a workaround for rsync verbose logging with the -vvv flag, you can instead pass rsync to strace for tracing the system calls and signals made by rsnc by running "sudo strace rsync". You can still see the commands and params that are being used by rsync much like -vvv except strace does not cause it to get stuck syncing plus if you have some other sort of timeout, strace will also show that. I hope this is helpful to at least one person reading this looking for a workaround. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1528921 Title: rsync hangs on select(5, [], [4], [], {60, 0} To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsync/+bug/1528921/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
