rsyncing (without omsuspend) kills my network - backups
Posted: Mon Aug 14, 2006 9:22 pm
This is a strange question.
I was trying to rsync /var/opt/scalix across the network yesterday and for some reason it killed my network. When i went to a console a "/etc/init.d/network stop; /etc/init.d/network start" fixed it.
I thought maybe it was something to do with the network so I tried to rsync to a local directory and the same thing happened. The machine seems totally normal, nothing in logs, no load, no huge number of processes. Just no network.
Has anyone experienced this before? Could it be because rsync is trying to rsync an open scalix file? I did this without using omsuspend.
I'm using Scalix 10.0.1 on a Proliant ML150 and FC4.
TIA.
Jon
