Re: Rsync between HPUX11.11 and Redhat7.3

[Kenny Gorman]

Not sure if this helps, but I remember that I had a problem when rsync 
solaris->red hat.  I basically ended up using the whole-file option.  It 
appeared that there was some issue with the incremental compare when 
rsync'ing cross-platform.   Once I used the whole-file option, 
everything was kosher.  Not sure if that fits your situation.  Other 
people on this list may know more regarding the nuances of the 
incremental compare when doing it cross-platform.

Hi,

If anyone has an Idea on how to solve the following problem
it would be greatly appreciated :). 

The scenario is as follows:

Im running an rsync server on Redhat7.3. The rsync server
configuration file looks as follows:
#### rsyncd.conf

 log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
 pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
 lock file = /var/run/rsyncd.lock
 max connections = 5
 use chroot = true
 list = true
 read only = true
 auth users = rsync_backup
 secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
 strict modes = true
 transfer logging = true
 uid = 0
 gid = 0
[server_config]
  path    = /opt/config
  comment = Server configuration files
[home_dirs]
  path    = /home
  comment = User home directories
## end rsyncd.conf

I then use the HPUX machine as an rsync client. I want to
mirror all information hosted on the Redhat server to the
HPUX server. The HPUX server is running HPUX11.11
When running rsync on the HPUX server with the following
options: rsync -avz [EMAIL PROTECTED]::home_dirs/ .
rsync freezes during the file transfer operation.
I have identified that rsync only appears to freeze on copy
operations that have a large volume of files to be coppied.
If anyone has any suggestions or advice on how to fix this
it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Stanton :).
