this commit https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/commit/11eb67eec9b4d990ae4df680cf7db77dad1b8630 broke --bwlimit=0 (say 3.2.2 but I'm not sur if it was broken before that all I know is I noticed after an upgrade to 3.2.2 from 3.1.3 I think) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. $ rsync --bwlimit=0 /source/ /dest/ Actual Results: rsync: --bwlimit value is too small: 0 rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1694) [client=3.2.2] Expected Results: sync bwtwin src and dest it has been reported and frixed upstream https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/issues/51 the fix: https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/commit/5dcb49c7ddec765d4a24b4f801ffc7212c085db1
The manual page for 3.2.0 says the RATE is "specified in units per second". 0 (zero) units per second makes no sense but the manual specifies that in that case the value is interpreted as having no limit: "A value of zero specifies no limit." (i.e. disabling bandwidth limits). The 3.2.2 manual says exactly the same thing, so either this is upstream changing the interface and forgetting to update the manual, or they actually broke it. :)
it was broken, they fixed it here: https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/commit/5dcb49c7ddec765d4a24b4f801ffc7212c085db1 :-)
