Ok i had to try a few times and now with tcpkeepalive being turned on |
| 9 |
it doesnt disconnect. But when the scan is done, it 'reconciles' the |
| 10 |
changes (so it has received the changes from the remote end) and |
| 11 |
Begins the transfer of a dozen files, but not a bit is transfered. |
| 12 |
The sshd and unison process on the remote host are waiting/sleeping or |
| 13 |
in coma, but nothing happens. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I just tried again and let it sit on the transfer to see if the |
| 16 |
processes would wake up, but it read from remote host that connection |
| 17 |
timed out. I'm not sure but this may be due to the fact i'm on an |
| 18 |
unstable link... I'll try once more with a ssh session on the side to |
| 19 |
see if that session will get disconnected or not... |

It would be so nice if unison could 'remember' the changes on my HD |
| 22 |
against its local archive... anyway... |
