First, you should know that rsyncing a .gz file is not very worthwhile because the rsync algorithm does not do a good job of efficiently transferring them, unless you've got a modified gzip that adds a --rsyncable option and you used the option. The patch is in the 2.5.5 source patches/gzip-rsyncable.diff.
According to my email record, I once found a workaround by deleting the "|| tx_strm.avail_in != 0" on line 285 of token.c. That change has not been put into 2.5.5 or into a later development version because it was unknown what the side effects were. - Dave Dykstra On Mon, Dec 23, 2002 at 09:53:21AM -0500, John Murtari wrote: > 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??? > > TIA! > > -- > John > ___________________________________________________________________ > John Murtari Software Workshop Inc. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] 315.695.1301(x-211) "TheBook.Com" (TM) > http://www.thebook.com/ > -- > To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync > Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
