rsync://oss.sgi.com with a very low timeout value? "unexpected EOF in read_timeout"

[Bernhard Erdmann <be@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying to rsync on rsync://oss.sgi.com/xfsftp/Release-1.0.2, but 
every time rsync stops at the file RH7.2-SGI-XFS-1.0.2a.iso: "unexpected 
EOF in read_timeout"

This file is on my local hard disk (320 MB). The local rsync seems to 
calculate a checksum (as I see hard disk activity while waiting for 
"unexpected EOF in read_timeout") and does not finish within the timeout 
of the rsync server.

Using -vvv I get the following output:

$ pwd
/net/software/xfs/oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs
$ rsync --progress --delete -vvv -aH 
rsync://oss.sgi.com/xfsftp/Release-1.0.2 .
local_version=24 remote_version=24
receiving file list ... recv_file_name(Release-1.0.2)
recv_file_name(Release-1.0.2/cmd_rpms)
[...]
recv_generator(Release-1.0.2/installer/i386/RH7.2-SGI-XFS-1.0.2a.iso,159)
unexpected EOF in read_timeout
sending sums for 159
unexpected EOF in read_timeout

It takes 20 sec from the last line "recv_generator" to "unexpected EOF 
in read_timeout".

If I exclude this file (--exclude=RH7.2-SGI-XFS-1.0.2a.iso), rsync 
properly syncs down the tree.

Is there some timeout value on the rsync server being that small?

Regards
Bernie
