Rsync hangs
Hi to all,
I try to rsync directories to my ReadyNAS 3100, files to be synced are on Ubuntu 12.04LTS (from Ubuntu to ReadyNAS). The backup job is configured with user and password, no SSH is set. Target is a share on the ReadyNAS. Testing the connection is successful. When I start the backup job, nothing happens. The ReadyNAS log says "receiving incremental file list", same on Ubuntu side, /var/log/rsync.log says "building file list". This takes hours and hours, nothing more happens.
Another try, I create another directory within Ubuntu to be synced. Connection test is successful again. I put one small 50KB file into this directory and start the backup job. Same result.
Set up rsync on Windows 7 Pro 64bit with DeltaCopy, everything fine here...
Newest version 4.2.22 is installed on ReadyNAS, Netgear support can't help which is quite annoying as they say "Linux is not supported" (ticket #20125568). Come on, we talk about business here... I'm quite disappointed. Anyone who can help me?

- Odd. Did you check which versions of rsync are running on both platforms? My pro has rsync 3.0.9 protocol version 30.
Also, did you try initiating the sync from the Ubuntu system? (with rsync enabled for the Readynas share...) - Odd. Indeed...
Rsync version ReadyNas is 3.0.9-1.netgear2
Rsync version Ubuntu is 3.0.9-1ubuntu1
Seems identical.
Next try, initiating rsync from Ubuntu:
rsync -avz /test/ root@READYNAS:/linux-backup
Same effect: Nothing happens after I typed in the password and "sending incremental file list". The file is listed and then .... nothing.
What makes me think that the ReadyNAS isn't responding is this:
- I start the job from Frontview.
- netstat Ubuntu (192.168.100.21 is the ReadyNAS)
tcp 0 23168 ubuntu:rsync 192.168.100.21:37897 ESTABLISHED
- netstat ReadyNAS
tcp 0 0 readynas:37897 ubuntu:rsync ESTABLISHED - And the Readynas folder is enabled for rsync?
- Yes, it is.
Just added more information above. - I have another Ubuntu with version 10.10. Configured it the same way as the server with 12.04. What I found out in the meantime: It works fine, If I got one or several files < 100byte. Bigger files, for example a file with 154kb and I got the effect I described above.
Ideas? Anybody? - Must be a issue with user rights...
In Ubuntu, I mount the NAS share with
mount.cifs //192.168.100.21/share /mnt/test/ -o user=admin
Mount OK. When I copy a file to the NAS share, copying starts. Not really, nothing happens. When I connect to the NAS with SSH, I can see the copied file in the share folder. File size is 0 and job doesn't finish.
