Problem using -v within rsync transfer.

Dave:   I suspect what you need will be provided by adding --stats to your 
commandline.
That'll give you something like this at the end of the transfer:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Number of files: 1
Number of files transferred: 1
Total file size: 43 bytes
Total transferred file size: 43 bytes
Literal data: 43 bytes
Matched data: 0 bytes
File list size: 30
Total bytes written: 125
Total bytes read: 36

wrote 125 bytes  read 36 bytes  322.00 bytes/sec
total size is 43  speedup is 0.27
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It still doesn't solve the problem with verbosity, and the process STILL 
may hang, but less.  I've had to break my transfers down into units of 
about 60000 files each.  Ugly, but it works.  Unfortunately, it means 
--delete doesn't often help.

        Subject:        Problem using -v within rsync transfer.
        Classification: 



Hello,

We have used rsync on a mirroring application successfully for just over a
year.  After our upgrade to 2.4.6, however, the process started failing
about 50% of the time.  The nature of our failure was that the rsync
processes on the remote system would die with no error message, leaving 
the
local system processes hung.  I have netstat and trace output for 
available
if needed, but I see that others have sent this information in.

Other details of the transfer include: our platforms are HPUX 10.20 (each
with 1.5GB Ram), the total data size is around 20GB, a typical transfer is
around 300MB (around 40,000 files).

After reading several other postings, we tried removing the -v from our
rsync command and our success rate improved dramatically (12 successes in 
a
row now).

What other platforms have this issue with -v?  Is there a known fix, or is 
a
fix in progress?

I ask because part of our process has always included a transfer size and
performance report.  Without some verbosity, -v, this information is not
obviously available.

Thank you for any workarounds or updates,
Dave
