One way to "fix" it is NOT to use option -z.
I cannot reproduce this. My best guess is that you have an outdated version of FreeBSD's rsync package installed. Version 3.1.1 of the package broke the backwards compatibility for -z. This was fixed in 3.1.1_1. (If you build it from the port, make sure that the ZLIB_BASE option is off.) > It seems that bug doesn't affect communication with earlier versions of > rsync as I had no problem backing up bunch of Red Hat desktops to the > same FreeBSD storage server. That doesn't fit with the above. *shrug* -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber na...@mips.inka.de
