Hi rsync list, Im trying to use rsync to sync about 23GB over a local LAN. I use 2.5.6 compiled on SCO OpenServer 5.0.6, this is the command I use:
rsync --verbose --stats --recursive --times --perms --links --delete eurux02::user2 (I have tried it with and without --compress, as the archive hinted this may be a problem with -z, but same result) on the source machine rsync --daemon is running and this is the user2 area block from rsyncd.conf: motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log pid file = /var/spool/rsyncd.pid lock file = /var/spool/rsyncd.lock [user2] path = /user2 comment = path for real uid = root gid = sys read only = yes list = yes Unfortunatly, it stops with an error (from rsyncd.log): 2003/10/14 10:59:13 [11256] rsync on user2 from eurux03 (192.168.100.3) 2003/10/14 11:22:49 [11256] wrote 12129660 bytes read 225836 bytes total size -2005091632 2003/10/14 11:25:07 [11256] rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (225836 bytes read so far) 2003/10/14 11:25:07 [11256] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165) 2003/10/14 12:01:28 [11693] rsync on user2 from eurux03 (192.168.100.3) 2003/10/14 12:22:31 [11693] wrote 12564617 bytes read 130771 bytes total size -2005090220 2003/10/14 12:24:26 [11693] rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (130771 bytes read so far) 2003/10/14 12:24:26 [11693] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165) These are just 2 tries, but every time,on slightly different places, when syncing a large area, it stops with this error. How can I continue to trace _why_ it is unexpectedly closing the connection? Im somewhat out of ideas. Whenever I try smaller areas, the rsync command works fine.
