Hi, I have installed 2.5.3pre1 but have (virtually) the same error:
| write failed on large_file2 : Success:12 | rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at receiver.c(271) | rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (201 bytes read so far) | rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(151) The command I run is: | andrewm@massachusetts:~/test-rsync$ rsync -v --progress conn:/home/andrewm/test-rsync/tree/* /home/andrewm/test-rsync/rsh_tree/ Are there other debug options I can use? Or possibly compile the source differently to help prove/disprove this as a bug/local system problem?
