My rsync was working from a cron job for a long time. Suddenly, I started to get the error:
rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 85 bytes: phase "unknown" [receiver]: Broken pipe (32) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at /SourceCache/rsync/rsync-20/rsync/io.c(909) I am syncing to an external hard drive. It appears to be mounted properly. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
