For these cases, gsutil will retry using a truncated binary exponential 30 backoff strategy: 31 32 - Wait a random period between [0..1] seconds and retry; 33 - If that fails, wait a random period between [0..2] seconds and retry; 34 - If that fails, wait a random period between [0..4] seconds and retry; 35 - And so on, up to a configurable maximum number of retries (default = 6), 36 with each retry period bounded by a configurable maximum period of time 37 (default = 60 seconds). 38 39 Thus, by default, gsutil will retry 6 times over 1+2+4+8+16+32=63 seconds. 40 You can adjust the number of retries and maximum delay of any individual retry 41 by editing the num_retries and max_retry_delay configuration variables in the 42 "[Boto]" section of the .boto config file. Most users shouldn't need to change 43 these values. 44 45 For data transfers (the gsutil cp and rsync commands), gsutil provides 46 additional retry functionality, in the form of resumable transfers. 47 Essentially, a transfer that was interrupted because of a transient error 48 can be restarted without starting over from scratch.
