I'm using rsync 3.0.9-1 to copy several directories to 32GB micro SD cards in both WinXP and Win7. I randomly get this error message; Please help me to debug it: rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 127 bytes to socket [generator]: Broken pipe (32)
I've got rsync on an infinite while loop so it keeps retrying, and it copies a little more each time, dying at different places each time. It has happened on all of my SD cards and with multiple SD card readers/phones/tablets, copying from two different computers. The only constant is the hard drive (moved from one computer to the other) but it's not exhibiting other symptoms of early failure. The directories are various sizes but one of the directories is only 231MB with 417 files/7 folders. The smallest file is only a few bytes and the largest file is 109MB. Here's the command which syncs the 231MB directory: rsync --modify-window=10 --recursive --times --verbose --delete --timeout=10 --human-readable --progress --omit-dir-times --no-compress --inplace --partial --bwlimit=1000 "Appropriate_technology" "/cygdrive/f/C" I added --no-compress --inplace --partial --bwlimit=1000 after searching Google. No good. I have multiple commands like these for multiple directories. When I put just this command in a loop by itself, it works, but when I put multiple commands, one of them will randomly generate that error message. My .bashrc and .bash_profile are untouched from the install, as are /etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/profile, etc. I'm certain I haven't tweaked my environment. Just a typical install. Ran checkdisk on the drive before attempting again.
