"list_bucket max-keys 200" error

[OutThere]

Hi
I'm trying to back up a couple hundred gigabytes from a NAS drive on our company's network using S3sync. Some (most?) of the data show up in S3, so it is being backed up, but the script I run always gives this error:

S3 command failed:
list_bucket max-keys 200 prefix Restores/Restores/restore_2008_04_03_12_32_255159/C/TeamCity/ delimiter /
With result 500 Internal Server Error
99 retries left, sleeping for 30 seconds

S3 command failed:
list_bucket max-keys 200 prefix Restores/Restores/restore_2008_04_03_12_32_255159/C/TeamCity/bin/ delimiter /
With result 500 Internal Server Error
98 retries left, sleeping for 30 seconds


And on and on.....

What does the text in bold mean? How can I fix it? Is it due to a limitation on the length of the file path?

It's just part of the command that "failed".  500 errors are normal in S3, and means "try again shortly"

Good to know, thanks. Is it a bug that S3sync actually waits for way way more than 30 seconds sometimes?

It would be a bug, but I bet it's really just moving on and no other lines get printed.  You can also decrease the delay by setting a parameter (see readme)
