I am trying to backup an entire disk to a USB-mounted disk, for backup purposes. Many files are copied, but eventually rsync dies:
$ rsync -axHSv --delete /backup /media/sda1 ... rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (239508 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(189) I am running Suse 9.0 and rsync 2.6.0 on an AMD-K6-2/450 (192MB RAM, 400MB swap). I ran fsck on the source and destination partitions (ext3), and both are error-free. Can anyone shed some light on what is going wrong? Thanks. -- Ray Lischner, author of C++ in a Nutshell http://www.tempest-sw.com/cpp -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
