           Summary: rsync hangs reading pipe
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.3
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: ro at suse.de
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


(got this bug report as maintainer here at suse) 
If rsync runs with --link-dest and there is a named pipe in link-dest with the 
same name as one of the regular files in the source dir, rsync hangs in opening 
this pipe (to compare the content with the file). 
 
If the object types are different (file vs named pipe), no comparison is needed 
any more.
