Hi all,

 

RSYNC Server: CENT OS 5 RSYNC Version: 2.6.8, Running RSYNC Daemon.

 

Client: Windows 2003 Standard, Delta Copy running rsync.exe version
2.6.6

 

We are backing up 2 files at each site at a total of 3 sites. 1 site is
running perfectly, whilst the other 2 are causing constant grief. The
backups at these 2 sites are hanging during the RSYNC process at random
places. One of the two files cause the hang. We are running the
following command on the client to initiate the backup: 

 

rsync.exe  -v -rlt -z --delete
"/cygdrive/D/MT32/ddiBkRes/Backup/PHCCAMMT32.GBK"
"192.168.X.X::rsync//PHCCAMMT32.GBK"

 

When it hangs, If I kill the rsync process on the client it will attempt
the backup again. Usually a few retries and it will go through
successfully. The RSYNC client log just states "Syntax or usage
errorRsync.exe returned an error. Will try again. This is retry number 1
of 5"

 

On the server, I have ran strace on the 2 rsync daemon processes and
getting the following output after killing the rsync process on the
client.

These logs don't make much sense to me as my Linux skills are limited.
For further troubleshooting I was thinking of trying the backups without
compression and using CYGWIN in conjunction with the newest version of
RSYNC.

 

Any Help would be great.
