I have yet to find a cure for my rsync error - the one that leaves the rsync client and server not talking to each other:
2002/06/21 14:24:48 [30675] rsync: error writing 4096 unbuffered bytes - exiting: Connection reset by peer 2002/06/21 14:24:48 [30675] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(463) Pertinent hardware data: NIC card has Realtec 8139 chip. Motherboard has Via VT8367 chipset. IBM 80Gb, 7,200rpm disk. Software: Rsync 2.5.5-0.1 Since I discovered I was getting bad disk I/O, I tracked down a kernel patch that enabled DMA for this chipset and raised my disk I/O from 6.6Mb/sec. to 45Mb/sec. I built this kernel for both server and client on these affected machines. The results did not change the rsync errors. The application I am using is 'SystemImager'. It's a nifty package to build systems from a golden-image system. Thus, the client system I am attempting to build is a virgin system, nothing else is running on it, there is not a problem with disk space (nor I/O). Network-wise, I have these systems separated by a local switch, thus traceroute returns a one-hop result. Again, attempts to use the '--bwlimit' and '--blocking-io' options do not help results. I have had the connection reset while rsync was receiving its list, and after about 100Mb of files have transfered. This situation is getting desparate. -- Bill Geddes [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
