Hi,
What would happen if two people ran rsync on the same set of source
files to the same destination machine? Do we need some sort of
queuing or interlock mechanism to prevent simultaneous rsyncs?
We have a script that uses rsync to distribute files from our AFS
space here to the local disks
Upon further investigation, I think I found part of the problem.
There was a weird circular link in the destination directory. I'm
running a test of the fix right now. I ran a test with no --timeout
option and that seemed to work. Then I found and deleted the
circular link and am re-running
All,
Sometimes when I do an rsync, it times out and leaves on orphaned
process on the remote machine. I am running rsync over ssh using
public key authentication. I synchronize about twenty-five machines,
and this problem only appears on one of them. It worked until
recently on this machine
