Hi I already wrote about this problem half a year ago but didn't get an answer: http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2009-June/023412.html
I'm using rsync 3.0.3 on a NAS. In the parameter list I use --timeout=1800. But still I often have rsync stall much longer than that. Some examples: 2009/12/14 23:14:35 [8707] io timeout after 11670 seconds -- exiting 2009/12/14 23:14:35 [8707] rsync error: timeout in data send/receive (code 30) at io.c(239) [sender=3.0.3pre1] 2009/12/14 00:20:04 [19046] io timeout after 15485 seconds -- exiting 2009/12/14 00:20:04 [19046] rsync error: timeout in data send/receive (code 30) at io.c(239) [sender=3.0.3pre1] 2009/12/12 22:15:21 [29732] io timeout after 8082 seconds -- exiting 2009/12/12 22:15:21 [29732] rsync error: timeout in data send/receive (code 30) at io.c(239) [sender=3.0.3pre1] 2009/12/11 23:14:23 [30216] io timeout after 11613 seconds -- exiting 2009/12/11 23:14:23 [30216] rsync error: timeout in data send/receive (code 30) at io.c(239) [sender=3.0.3pre1] I know that 3.0.3pre1 is not the newest version, but as this is running on a NAS it's not that easy to update or compile a newer version. However, why is it that rsync waits much longer than given in --timeout? Shouldn't timeout work that way? Thanks bye Fabi -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
