After I changed router, there is a delay in rsync that i could not trace even with high verbosity output settings for logs. I am running an rsync daemon on an android device (Wifi connected to router). I copy files from that device to another device (LAN connected to router). The delay can be seen even on "--list-only" option. Things are working very well for about 2 years already before I changed our router. The log is shown below:
rsync -vvvvvvvvvv --stats --progress --list-only --port xxxx xxx#xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx::share/
FILE_STRUCT_LEN=16, EXTRA_LEN=4
opening tcp connection to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port xxxx
Connected to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
msg checking charset: UTF-8
There is a delay of atleast 8 seconds after that initial connection. This is the problem. After this delay, everything goes smoothly. Everything is fast.
sending daemon args: --server --sender -vvvvvvvvvvde.Lsfx --list-only . share/ (6 args)
(Client) Protocol versions: remote=30, negotiated=30
receiving file list ...
recv_file_name(.)
recv_file_name(xxxx)
....
....
I can confirm it only occurs in the new router because the delay disappears when I connect the old one. My new router is TL WR841N. I have tried disabling all security features in it (flooding protection, etc) except the usual WPA2-AES password for the access point. I could not trace what rsync is trying to do when the delay occurs.
Although the delay is just in the beginning, my current backup methods include starting rsync many times. Thus if I start rsync 10 times, there is already an overhead of 8*10 seconds for starting delay, which did not exist with my previous router.
I have tried researching already, but the problems of others I have found are not very relevant to the delay I am experiencing (most have problems on SSH, but I am running an rsync daemon, not rsync on SSH)
How can I trace the problem? Any idea for the delay?

I have a VM instance on Oracle Cloud (Ubuntu 22.04) set up with ZeroTier to act as a web server for some services that should work with my local Synology NAS.
For some of those services I also need to mount three SMB shares from my NAS with the ZeroTier tunnel, but I can't make it work.
I used mount and mount.cifs plenty of times with automounting too, this time it acts very strange:
running the mount command seems to succeed from the console, but /var/log/syslog reads
CIFS: VFS: \\XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX has not responded in 180 seconds.
Reconnecting...
if trying to access one of the shares (ls or lsof or cd or any other command), it succeeds for only one of the shares (always the same one), but only for the first time any command is given:
$ ls /temp
folder1 folder2 folder3
any other following command just "hangs" as if they system is working on something, but it stays like that indefinitely most of the times:
$ ls /temp
█
Just a few times it spits out this error
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() cifs file system /temp
Output information may be incomplete.
ls 1475 ubuntu 3r DIR 0,44 0 123207681 /temp
findmnt reads:
└─/temp //XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/Downloads cifs rw,relatime,vers=2.0,cache=strict, username=[redacted],uid=1005,noforceuid,gid=0,noforcegid,addr=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755,soft,nounix,serverino,mapposix,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,bsize=1048576,echo_interval=60,actimeo=1
for the remaining two "mounted" shares, none of them seems to respond to any command, not even the very first command, and they just hang like the one share that, at least, lets me browse for one time;
umount and umount -l take at least 2-3 minutes to successfully unmount the shares.
Same behavior when using smbclient and also with NFS shares from the same NAS.
What I have already tried:
update kernel and all packages;
remove, purge and reinstall cifs-utils, smbclient and so on...
tried mounting the same shares in another client / node within the ZeroTier network and it works just fine; also browsing from Windows and Android file manager apps with and without ZeroTier works flawlessly;
tried all SMB versions including SMBv3 and SMBv1 (CIFS);
tried different browsing or mounting methods / commands including mount, mount.cifs, autofs, smbclient;
tried to debug what happens behind the console, but didn't found anything that seems related to this in logs, htop or anything else. During the "hanging" sessions there is no spike in CPU, RAM or Network usage in either the Oracle VM or Synology NAS;
checked, reset and reconfigured all permissions on my NAS for shares, folders and files recursively and reconfigured users groups permissions.
What I haven't tried yet (I'll try as soon as possible):
reproduce this on another Oracle VM configured the same as the faulty one and another with a different base image (maybe Oracle Linux?);
It seems to me that the mount.cifs process doesn't really succeeds in mounting the share correctly, as it doesn't show as such anywhere. It also seems an issue not related to folder/file permissions, but rather something related to networking?
A note on something that may or may not be related to this: ZeroTier on my Synology NAS does not seems to work with IPv4 only - it remains OFFLINE. The node goes ONLINE only when IPv6 is enabled, but I must say that this is the only node in my ZT network that shows a IPv6 as public IP in the ZT web GUI - the other nodes show IPv4 public addresses.
If anyone has any clue on this, I'll be happy to support and reproduce any advice. Thank you!
I'm using YailScale, but I presume it will work the same.
You need to add the port 445 to /etc/iptables/rules.v4 just under the SSH setup like below:
-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 445 -j ACCEPT (like this)
Then you need to edit the interfaces in /etc/samba/smb.conf to:
interfaces = lo tailscale0 100.0.0.0/24
Obviously, my interface is tailscale0, but yours will be different. Use ip link show to find yours. You may also need to change your IP range to suit ZeroTeirs, such as 100.0.0.0/24, which is what tailscale uses.
Then reboot!
I couldn't get it working without doing this.
I have an autossh tunnel set up over which I am sending something that needs an uninterrupted connection for a couple dozen minutes. However, I noticed that every 10 minutes the SSH tunnel managed by autossh is killed and recreated.
This is not due to an inactive connection, as there is active communication happening through that channel.
The command used to set up the tunnel was:
autossh -C -f -M 9910 -N -L 6969:127.0.0.1:12345 remoteuser#example.com
In my case the problem was a clash of the monitoring ports on the remote server. There are multiple servers all autossh-ing to the single central server and two of those "clients" used the same monitoring port (-M).
The default interval in which autossh tries to communicate over the monitoring channel is 600 seconds, 10 minutes. When autossh starts up, it does not verify that it could open the remote monitoring port. Everything will look fine until the time when autossh tries to check that the connection is open - and it fails. At that point the SSH tunnel will be forcibly killed and recreated.
A good way to check if this is your case as well is change the default timeout using the AUTOSSH_POLL environment variable:
AUTOSSH_POLL=10 autossh -C -f -M 9910 -N -L 6969:127.0.0.1:12345 remoteuser#example.com

Error: Port 5000 is not open, could not start functions emulator.
Run lsof -t -i tcp:5000 | xargs kill from your Terminal.
A common cause for this error occurs when the Firebase emulator is not cleanly shut down (e.g., closing your IDE that's running the emulator in an embedded Terminal session) This will leave the process running in the background and occupies the emulator's default port.
To resolve the conflict, find the process ID running on the port (here 5000) from your Terminal command line and then kill it.
The above one-liner finds the process ID and pipes it directly to kill (h/t #manav).
For additional info, check out: Find (and kill) process locking port 3000 on Mac
The bug seems to be on not your end
It is caused by a bug in a dependency (node portfinder).
A quick fix to edit it might be to use the old version of node portfinder (v 1.0.21). Alternatively, you can do it by editing node_modules/firebase-tools/lib/emulator/controller.js and changing yield pf.getPortPromise({ port, stopPort: port }) to yield pf.getPortPromise({ port, stopPort: port + 1 }).
You can see the answer to your question completely here in this SO link.
If you are facing this issue in macOS Pro then this solution is for you.
In MacOS , Port 5000 may be claimed by a new "AirPlay Receiver".
This can be disabled in Settings -> Sharing:
I'm also adding the Screenshot of settings panel for disabling AirPlay Receiver.
Disabling the AirPlay Receiver (if you do not need it) frees up port 5000.
I've got a remote server on eapps.com that I'm using as my "production" server. I have my own computer at home that I'm using as my "development" server. I'm trying to use JNDI over HTTP to do some batch processing. The following works at home, but not on the eapps machine.
I'm connecting to some EJBs (stateless session), and have my jndi.properties set to this:
(this is for the eapps machine)
java.naming.factory.initial=org.jboss.naming.HttpNamingContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=http://my.prodhost.com:8080/invoker/JNDIFactory
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming.client:org.jnp.interfaces
# timeout is in milliseconds
jnp.timeout=15000
jnp.sotimeout=15000
jnp.maxRetries=3
(this is for my machine at home)
java.naming.factory.initial=org.jboss.naming.HttpNamingContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=http://localhost:8080/invoker/JNDIFactory
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jnp.interfaces
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming.client
# timeout is in milliseconds
jnp.timeout=15000
jnp.sotimeout=15000
jnp.maxRetries=3
As I said, it works at home, but when I try it remotely, I get:
Can not get connection to server. Problem establishing socket connection for InvokerLocator [socket://my.prodhost.com:4446//?dataType=invocation&enableTcpNoDelay=true&marshaller=org.jboss.invocation.unified.marshall.InvocationMarshaller&socketTimeout=600000&unmarshaller=org.jboss.invocation.unified.marshall.InvocationUnMarshaller]
...
Caused by: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect
Am I doing something wrong here, or is it possibly a firewall issue? To the best of my knowledge, port 4446 is not blocked.
Are the differences in the jndi.properties intentional (at the java.naming.factory.url.pkgs property level)?
Also, can you run a netstat -a | grep 4446 on both machines and update the question with the output?
Update: If the netstat command didn't return anything for port 4446 (JBoss was running, right?), then the JBoss Remoting Connector for the UnifiedInvoker service is very likely not listening on your eApps host, hence the connection timeout. Maybe this service has been disabled by eApps, you should contact the support and discuss this with them.
Just in case, a sample Connector configuration can be found in the jboss-service.xml under the server node's conf directory. Maybe compare the remote one (if you have access to it) with your local file to confirm this (but if it's disable, there must be a reason, discuss it with the support).
And by the way, this is what I get when I run the netstat command with JBoss 4.2.3.GA started on my GNU/Linux machine (default configuration):
$ netstat -a | grep 4446
tcp 0 0 localhost:4446 *:* LISTEN
I have a server where I store data from Mac A and Mac B.
I use rsync to keep the files updated between my Macs.
I run the following code unsuccessfully
#!/bin/zsh
# to copy files from my server to my folder
rsync -Pav $Masi:~/private/ ~/Dropbox/Courses/math/
# to copy files from my folder to my server
rsync -Pav ~/Dropbox/Courses/math $Masi:~/private/
I get the following error message
ssh: connect to host port 22: Connection refused
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver]
rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(600) [receiver=3.0.5]
ssh: connect to host port 22: Connection refused
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(600) [sender=3.0.5]
I have ssh keys in place so the connection should work, since I can use scp without problems.
How can you use rsync between my server and one of my Macs?
I used to do a lot of this. Just ran a test, a few suggestions.
Spell out your entire user#host pattern
Run the ssh connection sans the rsync first, you may need to first approve your fingerprint
You do not seem to pass a flag to protect extended attributes, this can yield broken files on OS X. If you do not need resource forks, you are OK, but most of the time you do need them.
My test case:
$ rsync -Pav ~/Desktop/ me#remote.example.com:~/rsyc-test
In that case, all the files within ~/Desktop were copied to the remote host, in my home dir. Since the directory 'rsyc-test' did not exist, it was made for me. I had a .app on my Desktop, it made it over, surprisingly, it works. Even some .webloc files made it and appear to work, though I do not trust it.
I would strongly suggest adding in the -E flag
-E, --extended-attributes
Apple specific option to copy extended attributes, resource
forks, and ACLs. Requires at least Mac OS X 10.4 or suitably
patched rsync.
I ran a new test, moved a Interarchy bookmark to my desktop, I know for a fact these break if they are copied sans resource forks. Running without the -E versus with the -E, there is a difference of 152 bytes in xfered data. The first file on the remote machine did not work, the second transfered file did work.
I can not help but notice in your example one of your paths is ~/Dropbox so this may all not matter, since DropBox, the app, does not at all support resource forks currently, though I hear there are plans to in the future.
You also are not sending in the --delete flag, if your end goal is a mirror of your data, you are not getting that, if your end goal is backups that continually grows, keeping everything that was ever on the source, the lack of --delete is good.
Other notes:
You can exclude those silly .DS_Store files
--exclude '.DS_Store'
You can also set rsync up in a way to be a true mirror, so you would not need to run your other command, see the man page for details.
My final working command to shove the Desktop of my laptop to a remote machine:
$ rsync -PEav --delete --exclude '.DS_Store' ~/Desktop/ me#remote.example.com:~/rsycn-test
Check "$Masi". Is that the hostname you are trying to reach?
Try the following command to debug it:
rsync -e 'ssh -v' -Pav $Masi:~/private/ ~/Dropbox/Courses/math/
The Connection refused usually happens when there is a connection issue to the remote (e.g. firewall).
In your case the problem is that $Masi variable is empty. If it's not variable, use Masi.
As per this error:
ssh: connect to host port 22: Connection refused
Notice the double space above after the host word.
the connect to host message doesn't say to which host, so you're trying to connect to empty host. So it sound like a typo in the host name.
