That's very strange. The generator is trying to write data down the socket, and if the other end of the socket connection goes away, the select() call should report that the fd is not "ready" so that rsync will try to write to it and get an error. It's very weird that this does not happen. Older rsync versions probably avoid this scenario by having an extra descriptor in the select() call (to check on the pipe from the receiver to the generator), but newer rsync versions avoid this when the generator is trying to finish writing a packet of data, which avoids the potential for protocol corruption. So, it seems to me that stunnel is the root cause of the hang, since it is not letting someone attempting to write the socket that it is closed. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
