Re: rsync hang at end

2008-05-23 Thread Lawrence D. Dunn
Robert, Perhaps unrelated, but I had a hang-at-end situation which at least sounds similar. I tried to use a 3.0.x binary which had been compiled on a PPC, on an intel-mini; it seemed to hang at the end. Recompiled on the intel-mini, no problem since then. Larry -- At 9:57 PM -0400 5/2

Colleagues, If you do pursue SSL functionality directly in rsync, please be sure to take a look at Chris Rapier's work to "fix" standard ssh implementations, at: http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/ Turns out "-e ssh" using most libraries puts a fixed-window-size ssh-windowi

David, What OS is on each end? This sounds like (maybe) classic "TCP buffers too small by default", which limits the amount of data in-flight for an individual TCP flow to min(senders_TCP_send_buf, receivers_TCP_recv_buf), assuming a clean network path. (If you're running current Linu

Stu, I ran into similar circumstances when helping some folks transfer data from FermiLab(Chicago) to Renater(France). What options are you using for rsync? The buffer tuning you refer to is actually tuning two different things. The rsync TCP-buffer options allow you to set TCP buffers

Jason, Wayne, As far as I know, rysnc transfers the files themselves using TCP, right? So rsync can be affected by latency - transferring a large file, it is subject to TCP's latency-effects, including slow recovery from a loss on large bandwidth*delay product (BDP) links. (Same with sev

Jason, Summary guess-on-my-part: "Maybe" (w.r.t. will_larger_buffers_help?). Depending on which satellite-height you're using, and what your current default buffers are, and which-operating-system, 1-4Mbps is on the edge where more-than-default buffers are useful. More detail below. (

2005-11-01 Thread Lawrence D. Dunn
Dear rsync folks, I'd like to request/suggest that cli options to set TCP send/receive buffers be added to rsync client-side. Summary: I'm aware that a daemon's config-file can set socket options for the server side (e.g. SO_SNDBUF, SO_RCVBUF). That is useful. But when trying to get
