Last version of rsync in cooker seems broken. 1. the --whole-file flag is now claimed invalid
2. I am unable to connect with rsyncd servers with it. With no change in configuration i have since the update the following error messages when trying to rsync : rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(151) my rsync command was : # BUG in rsync ? --whole-file claimed invalid #rsync_flags=" --whole-file --delete --delete-excluded --force --archive --links --recursive --relative --owner --perms --times --group --password-file=/root/.rsync.secrets" rsync_flags=" --delete --delete-excluded --force --archive --links --recursive --relative --owner --perms --times --group --password-file=/xxxx/.rsync.secrets" savedir="$home/pascal/" /usr/bin/rsync $rsync_flags --exclude=/var/cache remhost::pascal/linux $savedir my server rsyncd.conf is : uid = root gid = root use chroot = no max connections = 1 syslog facility = debug pid file = /etc/rsyncd.pid [pascal] path = /home/pascal comment = pascal home dir auth users = root secrets file = /xxxxx/rsyncd.secrets read only = yes list = no hosts allow = lochost.mydomain.fr ~ I revert to LM8.1 CDROM version to correct the problem. ~
