Hi, Regarding the bug report made to the rsync package in the Jun 7th of 2009 http://bugs.debian.org/532227 > Running rsync -avHX /foo /bar, where /foo contains several hundred Gb of > data, (and a lot of hard links) I eventually get:
> rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes [sender]: Broken pipe (32) > rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (429796854 bytes received so far) > [sender] > rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(635) > [sender=3.0.3] > This is on a 32-bit system, where the source file system is reiserfs and > the destination file system ext3. I'm surprised that I don't seem to > find anything about this problem by searching (I only see mentions of > limits on individual file size). The error message claims that 429796854 bytes were transmited, which is about 410M. This issue doesn't seem to be related a 4G limit. I think the problem is related to a filesystem error that ends up in a read error. Anyway, can you still reproduce this issue? How many files are you trying to rsync? What's the filesize of the larger file? If you copy the data to another filesystem (preferably an ext3 one), would the rsync succeed? (say, something like cp -ax /foo /tmp; rsync -avHX /tmp/foo /bar) Thanks, -- "We must be very careful when we give advice to younger people: sometimes they follow it!" -- Edsger W.
