I've taken on some rsync jobs created by someone else and below is a description of the problem. It's pretty straight forward.
- both server and client and Windows 2003 servers - there is no ssh between the 2 nodes - the sync was working well up until recently - there are no known changes that would cause the sync to stop working - the job syncs files from a directory that contains database files, about 8GB (the DB is offline at the time of the proposed sync) - The rsync client is able to connect to the rsync server and pull down a file list (evident from my log) - Once the file listing is complete, it does not continue with the actual sync - The sync jobs were running fine until recently The rsync server is offsite, but connected via VPN. As I mentioned, evident from my logs, a file list is been made but does not continue with the sync. These are the last lines taken from the rsync log. The same job was attempted 3 times on the same day. 2007/03/14 01:45:57 [4464] forward name lookup for DSCMAIN011 failed: no address associated with hostname. 2007/03/14 01:45:59 [4464] rsync on bom-bnk from unknown (10.2.0.4) 2007/03/14 01:46:06 [4464] rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4096 bytes: phase "send_file_entry" [sender]: Connection reset by peer (104) 2007/03/14 01:46:06 [4464] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(1099) 2007/03/14 01:48:14 [5624] name lookup failed for 10.2.0.5: temporary failure in name resolution. 2007/03/14 01:48:16 [5624] rsync on bom-bnk from unknown (10.2.0.5) 2007/03/14 04:13:06 [5624] rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer (104) 2007/03/14 04:13:06 [5624] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(584) 2007/03/14 18:46:02 [1936] rsync error: received SIGUSR1 or SIGINT (code 20) at rsync.c(163) 2007/03/14 18:51:30 [1920] rsyncd version 2.6.6 starting, listening on port 873 - DSCMAIN011 = rsync client - bom-bnk = module on the server defined in rsyncd.conf Any insight into the errors would be great!
