cygwin 1.3.22, I know the list hates rsync questions/problems ( is there is a better list for this?) but...
I have been having somewhat aqrbitrary but continued reliability issues with rsync, I've been trying to use rsync to synchronize a fairly large number of machines from a central server. Somewhat arbitrarily ( but often ) in the midst of copying files I either terminate with the following: ........... rsync: error writing 68 unbuffered bytes - exiting: Connection reset by peer rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(463) rsync: error writing 7161 unbuffered bytes - exiting: Connection reset by peer rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at /tmp/rsync-2.5.5/io.c(463) or it hangs on one file until the i/o time_out value I have set kicks in.. That file never gets transfered, but the next time it transfers that file fine and hangs in a different place or not at all..... It the first case, the first error line is ALWAYS writing 68 bytes the third line byte count changes... I run multiple rsyncs concurently from a master server, but have seen the same beahviour even when doing one rsync at a time. I did find that removing Terminal Services ( http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-02/msg01805.html) did improve the reliablity, but I still have around a 25% faliure rate.. thanks, Bruce D. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
