bdsync server does not terminate on receiving server

[gwkant]

Hello,

I use bdsync to sync LVMs from one Linux server (hosta) to another (hostb). My command on hosta is as follows:

ionice -c 3 bdsync "ssh hostb /usr/local/sbin/bdsync -s" /dev/vg0/lvm1 /mnt/btrfs_pool/backup/lvm1 -z -t | gzip >$patchfile

The problem I observe is that often, the bdsync server process on hostb is not terminated at the end of the sync. If this happens, the bdsync process on hosta has terminated whereas on hostb the "bdsync -s" keeps running on a CPU.

Any ideas?

Sorry for my slow response. We're making lots of backups the same way, and I never run into this issue. As far as I know anyway. I need to have a closer look if we really-really don't run into the issue.
