Invalid File Index error

[Rob Bosch]

Since upgrading to 2.6.8 with the tag 3 patch, I've been consistently
getting an error using rsync.  We have about 100 servers using the client to
a central backup server and the issue is repeatable on the servers having
the problem.  About 10 of the servers are having the problem.  The error
reported by rsync is:

 

Invalid file index: -1019607330 (count=8353) [sender]

rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at sender.c(169) [sender]

 

The number following the "index: " and count= values are different by
machine.  They occur consistently in the same place on each machine, for
example, following a particular file backup.  Using the -vvv option only
shows the file before the error finishing and then the same error (no new
logging information).

 

The build was created by Tev at http://www.itefix.no <http://www.itefix.no/>
and I've also posted this to his forum.  I was wondering if anyone else was
experiencing the problem.

 

Version: rsync 2.6.8 with tag 3 patch

Running over OpenSSH tunnel (running in background, not as part of rsync
command line)
