Hello All, I have searched for this error and found similiar errors, but everything seems to indicate that this should be fixed in the 2.5.5 version.
rsync version 2.5.5 protocol version 26 I am running rsync with -axz, trying to sync up a large gz file : Source machine: -rw-r--r-- 1 root other 175214792 Dec 22 00:17 /export/tools2/local/etc/httpd/logs/access/access_log.12-22-02.gz Destination: -rw-r--r-- 1 root other 103372258 Dec 19 00:18 access_log.12-22-02.gz Rsync is running with rsh to a remote machine running in daemon mode. The full command line is : /bin/nice rsync -R -l -H --quiet --stats -axz --delete --blocking-io /export/tools2 drill::anvil welcome to drill.thebook.com building file list ... done export/tools2/local/etc/httpd/logs/access/ /export/tools2/local/etc/httpd/logs/access/access_log.12-22-02.gz deflate on token returned 0 (16384 bytes left) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at token.c(288) If the remote copy of the file is removed, rsync will run to completion, so it seems to be a problem perhaps with the -z option trying to update a .gz file???
