As to that a quick web search indicates previous reports: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/68775/rsync-timed-out 3 «It looks like the server times out on the SSH connection level.» «Since the timeout appears to happen when rsync is creating the checksums» https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7195 «it seems - in my case at least - to be related to the delta-xfer algorithm» ** Bug watch added: Samba Bugzilla #7195 https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7195 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to rsync in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988144 Title: Getting error message: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(605) [sender=3.0.9] Status in rsync package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu Precise 12.04LTS 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center Installed: 3.0.9-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 3.0.9-1ubuntu1 Version table: *** 3.0.9-1ubuntu1 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What you expected to happen I was using rsync to backup my Home DIrectorys' contents and at one point in the backup it gave me this error: Downloads/Windows.7.Ultimate.32-64Bit.(2011-02-09).iso 3809312768 83% 21.03MB/s 0:00:35 rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes to socket [sender]: Broken pipe (32) rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (70735 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(605) [sender=3.0.9] This only came about when it was trying to copy my Windows ISO from my directory over to my backup drive that I have formatted in EXT4 - so I'm not sure of the issue it's having.
