Rsync hangs.

[Alvin Dobrowski]

Sirs;

I have read your web site page current issues and debugging and I am  
interested in how to debug a rsync issue which ends with the following 
message:

io timeout after 60 seconds -- exiting
rsync error: timeout in data send/receive (code 30) at io.c(181)

I have compiled rsync on a hpux 11.11 server and I am using rsync-2.6.4. 
The remote machine is running rsync as a deamon in inetd.  The included 
line is:

rsync stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/rsync rsyncd --daemon

The remote server ends with the following messages in 
/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Jul 21 14:01:10 aux2 rsyncd[16546]: rsync error: timeout in data 
send/receive (code 30) at io.c(181)
Jul 21 14:01:10 aux2 rsyncd[16546]: rsync error: received SIGUSR1 or 
SIGINT (code 20) at main.c(984)
Jul 21 14:01:44 aux2 rsyncd[16546]: rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to 
write 69 bytes: phase "unknown" [generator]: Broken pipe (32)
Jul 21 14:01:44 aux2 rsyncd[16546]: rsync error: error in rsync protocol 
data stream (code 12) at io.c(1080)
Jul 21 14:01:10 aux2 rsyncd[16546]: rsync error: timeout in data 
send/receive (code 30) at io.c(181)

The command I issued to start rsync on the local machine is:

/usr/local/bin/rsync -avvWP --inplace --delete --exclude-from 
/exclude.files --timeout=60 --bwlimit=500 / aux2_sync::sftp

This works but not reliably.  It stops.  Even though you include 
examples in the web page on how to debug this issue it is not clear to 
me what I need to do.
