I have been having some errors when using rsync to copy files from a
remote cygwin machine to my local cygwin machine. I read posts the
cygwin web forum. I have the same hang problem in that when I try to
rsync (get) files from a remote machine rsync just hangs if any
directory has what seems to be >100 files. Is there any fix for this
yet? The posts I saw were from April of 2006, so I don't know if the
problem is now solved or not.
No, unfortunately this problem is not solved. But the problem is not in
rsync itself, but in the cygwin1.dll. See
http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2007-02/msg00643.html
I have looked at that code, but it is quite difficult stuff. And I'm
having trouble compiling the cygwin.dll (downloaded the 1.5.24-2 sources
via setup.exe), so I can't even give it a try at this moment. Although
it is not the real compilation, but generating the docs :-S
But a lot of people have this problem. It becomes a FAQ.

Frank
