Hello,
Rsync 2.5.5 is producing this error message and a core file when executing the
command "/usr/local/bin/rsync -av --delete --force /net/OSCM/OS_ATLAS2/CONFIG/.
/net/OSCM/OS_TITAN1/2.6/CONFIG/. /OS/2.6/CONFIG"
building file list ... done
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (8 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150)
The /net/OSCM directory is an NFS mounted file system. The /OS directory is
local. From reading the man pacge for rsync, one of the syntax options is
"rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... DEST ". The two source directories contain
several files with the same name. I am unsure how rsync selects which file to
transfer, but it appears to be the file with the most recent date. Is that
correct?
My basic goal is to merge the two source directories, choosing the most recent
file in either directory if a duplicate name exists, and then deleting any
"extra" files in the destination directory.
Any insight and help is greatly appreciated. I have searched the web and as
much documentation I could find, but have been unsuccessful in finding a
solution. I have also tried versions 2.5.4 and 2.3.1 with the same results.
Thanks,
Ed Farrar
