I'm not sure how to do that since there are so many files in the directory. strace shows me both sides are stuck in a select() and the sendq and recvq are seemingly empty according to netstat. I did find this when using --dry-run: # rsync --dry-run -avve 'ssh ... -i ..' remote:/path/ /mnt/backup ... bits/eng/html/cells/cell_220_article.txt Invalid file index 1541696587 in recv_files (count=2062) unexpected EOF in read_timeout What is an invalid file index? I looked at the the that appeared to logically come next in the list, even added it to an exclude list, and no change. > OpenSSH 2.3 is rather old, although I'm not aware of any hanging > problems in it.
