I created a local repository using the assistant, followed by setting up a remote ssh 'full backup' repository. While the assistant is running, changes in the local repository are detected and transfers are initiated, but they stay at 0%. How can I go about trouble-shooting this? I've made the remote annex directories 777 permissions for testing, but no change.
Thanks
First, take a look at the output of
ps fax
.. you should see agit-annex assistant
process and near it there ought to be agit annex transferkeys
process. See if that process has any children under it, like perhaps a rsync. If so, it might just be stalled talking to the host for some reason.The best way to debug it further is probably to run
git annex copy --to $remote
at the command line, passing the name of your remote repository. See if it also stalls there. If so, add a --debug and you can see the actual rsync commands it's using, and perhaps work out the problem from there.
