Summary: rsync hangs when using --only-write-batch and
--hard-links
Product: rsync
Version: 3.1.0
Platform: x64
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: core
AssignedTo: way...@samba.org
ReportedBy: samba-bugzi...@cetim.ch
QAContact: rsync...@samba.org
rsync (sometimes) hangs when trying to build a batch file containing hardlinked
files.
Here's a way to reproduce the problem:
mkdir new; cd new; mkdir a; mkdir a/b; mkdir c; touch a/b/1; ln a/b/1 c/2; cd
..; rsync --only-write-batch=batch_file -a -H --delete new/ old/
Expected result:
rsync exits normally (leaving behind a well-formed batch_file) or at least
exits with an error
Actual result:
rsync hangs indefinitely, causing any script which called it to wait on it
forever
I confirmed the issue with the sources in
http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/nightly/rsync-HEAD-20111022-1730GMT.tar.gz but
3.0.9 was already affected.
