What rsync version are you using? Up to he last official (2.6.9) there seems to be an error that rsync can deadlock, see here: http://marc.info/?l=rsync&m=116932447411768&w=2 I also had this problem, especially with big files over ssh. I now tried the current cvs version and it works much better, it never stalled anymore in the last few days. bye Fabi -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
