I upgraded rsync from 2.3.1 to 2.5.5, and now one of my nightly
jobs fails with
building file list ... done
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (11980581 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (8 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150)
I probably just need suggestions on how to better diagnose this,
but maybe someone can actually tell me what's going on here.
Here's what seems relevant:
The transfer only fails for certain large directories -- however,
there are no complaints of running out of space on the destination
host. (A test, where I invoked rsync separately for each subdirectory,
generated no errors -- does rsync need a certain amount of free disk
for some temp file, which grows with the size of the source data?)
rsync 2.5.5 (compiled from source with SUNWspro-5.0, on the same
machine which is running the rsync)
hindenburg# /opt/rsync-2.5.5/bin/rsync --version
rsync version 2.5.5 protocol version 26

Capabilities: 32-bit files, socketpairs, hard links, symlinks, batchfiles,
no IPv6, 32-bit system inums, 64-bit internal inums
Both hosts run Solaris 2.5.1
The transfer invoked as
/opt/rsync-2.5.5/bin/rsync -azvH \
--rsync-path=/opt/rsync-2.5.5/bin/rsync \
--delete \
/export/disk01/packages/ lusitania:/export/disk01/packages/
The source partition is
/dev/md/dsk/d0 16489088 14390650 1603768 90% /export/disk01
the destination is
/dev/md/dsk/d0 16492328 14391420 451678 97% /export/disk01
so, there isn't as much space on the targe as the source, but I
don't *think* there's anywhere near 451678 KB of updates.
Thanks, as always, for any clues!
