In reading through the archives, I've seen this topic come up several
times, but no real solutions. I posted the question on the
FAQ-O-MATIC, then realized I should have posted here first.
When mirroring a large tree from an rsync server the error
unexpected EOF in read_timeout
unexpected EOF in read_timeout
occurs and the session terminates. This error repeats over and
over resulting in the mirror process never completing. This is
also repeatable on several public servers that have the same
information. I don't know what is happening on the remote end,
but suspect that it is some kind of resource limitation. If the
transfer is attempted for small portions of the tree, all is
well.
local system dual celron 500 w/500meg ram, lots of disk
linux-2.2.19
rsync 2.4.6 fresh compile/install
code line:
/usr/bin/rsync -rlptD --timeout=0 --exclude=*~ \
--delete-after --force $SOURCE $DEST
where source dest =~
some.rsync.server.com::/directory/path/ localpath
This appears to be related to the size of the directory tree that is
transferred I think, is there some way to limit this so mirroring
with rsync really works, or must it be done manually for the tree
slices?
