Hi<br>
I was using rsync with the following options <br>
<span class="alt2" ;="" style="border-top: #888888 1px solid;
font-family: monospace;
background: #F0F0F7;
color: #170072;
border-left: #888888 1px solid; border-bottom: #DDDDDD 1px solid;
border-right: #DDDDDD 1px solid; padding-left: 0px; padding-right:
0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;
white-space:pre-wrap;">rsync -aPH
--exclude-from=/var/tmp/ignorelist /home/me/ /run/media/me/ADATA\
#2/rsync-me/</span> <span style="white-space:pre-wrap;"></span> <br>
and I was creating a copy of a home directory on my Linux machine.
It went along for sometime (some 30,000 files) when it stopped with
the following message.<br>
---><br>
<pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:6px; border:1px inset; overflow:auto">Desktop/OSme/Web-Site-Backups/backup-5.4.2014_15-11-43_linux014.tar.gz
4288446464 78% 32.15MB/s 0:00:36
rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes to socket [sender]: Broken pipe (32)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (1964386 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(605) [sender=3.0.9]
[root@puter ~]#</pre>
<---<br>
I suspect, because the 4,288,446,464 is so close to 2^32 that it
is 32 bit limit error of some kind. It happened twice on the same
file. The version I am using is rsync.x86_64 version on Fedora 21.
It appears that although it says it is a 64 bit version something in
the code must be limited by 32 bit values.<br>
I could be off track here but I don't think so. I do not know how
to raise a Possible Bug Report so I post my concerns here.
Thanks...<br>
Robert<br>
