Thanx Ben,

But i have really no idea why this is happening, the backup server crashed and the DC rebuild it with centos 5 (i guess had centos4 before), after the rebuild did start this problem, could be something with the os version or distro?

not sure where to start, the problem is not broadcasting...i mean, the dc tech told me the following, so the broadcasting is not something that "normal"....

"is broadcasting to all servers connected to that switch right now. It is not normal for it to be abusing the network and flooding other servers with unwanted traffic."

so any help or idea will be aprecciated.


btw, here is the command that i was running in the backup server to pull the data from the other servers, not sure if it could have any problem...but i was running the same command without problem before the backup server rebuild.

/usr/bin/rsync -rplogDtzH --stats --delete-during --timeout=500 --exclude-from=/root/rsyncexcludedfiles --files-from=/root/rsyncincludedfiles -e ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ /backup4/server8


Thanx in advance!

Manuel

Hi Manuel,

it is unlikely that rsync is causing your trouble as it operates on top
of tcp (osi layer 4); broadcasts are special ethernet packets that are
transmitted on osi layer 2. I think there might be another problem with
your server or with your switch (is it hubbing?). I suggest you talk to
your network admin again or repost this mail into a network list.


Greetings
Benjamin

hi guys, we are using rsycn without problem but today after some problems in one of the servers, the dc tech did find the rsync is effecting in the switch where they have the server connected broadcasting all the ports in the switch at the dc?????

This is what the dc tech said:

"It appears that your server is broadcasting to every port on the switch that you are connected to"

Any idea why this is happening?

Thanx in advance!

im using version 3.0.3  protocol version 30

and im running the command through shell in the destination server (backup server) to pull the files from the other servers:

/usr/bin/rsync -rplogDtzH --stats --delete-during --timeout=500 --exclude-from=/rsyncexcludedfiles --files-from=/rsyncincludedfiles -e ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ /backup/server
