Hi everybody, I'm experiencing another variant of the rsync hang-problem. I'm using rsync locally to synchronize some large amount of data (~ 80 GB of media files) with an attached USB harddrive. The command I use for everyday synchronization reads as:
rsync -CvubrltgoD -v --delete --backup-dir=/CYGDRIVE/p/BACKUP --exclude="System Volume Information" --exclude="RECYCLER" --exclude="desktop.ini" --stats --progress /CYGDRIVE/m/ /CYGDRIVE/$1 This command just works as expected - no problems occur. However, I want to run a cron job every month that performs a thorough, binary comparison between the two trees. The command reads as: rsync -cCvubrltgoD -v -v --delete --backup-dir=/CYGDRIVE/p/BACKUP --exclude="System Volume Information" --exclude="RECYCLER" --exclude="desktop.ini" --stats --progress /CYGDRIVE/m/ /CYGDRIVE/$1 As you will notice, the only noticeable difference is the additional "-c"-switch which implies the use of checksums. Running the second command results in a large list being built (locally, >from /CYGDRIVE/m/), which soon stops after about 100 files. The point where it stops is not identical all the time. I don't know if I should attach the result of the cygcheck-command here since it contains a large amount of data - if you need any more information, please ask me to provide it. Google could not help me in this issue, and I can't see why the command in question should not work.
