I have been trying to backup some files which rsync and it always
chokes on this file.
It simple halts with a non intuitive error message.
One man's non intuitive error message is another man's full story of
what went wrong.
rsync --version produces this info :
rsync version 3.0.4 protocol version 30
It is the same on boths sides of the llink
Can it be tested in some way?
Is there some process for getting the rsync developers to check it?
Here is a link to the file: http://lz.rca2.net/colinux-0.7.5.exe
It's very unlikely that the problem is with the file's contents. It's
much more likely a problem with permissions or differing options between
filesystems. Please send the error message to the list.
I don't have 3.0.4 anywhere, but that file transferred perfectly fine to
and from pairs of machines running 3.0.{6, 7, and 8}.
