--- Comment #8 from Rick <r...@ict-concept.nl> 2012-03-01 10:08:28 UTC --- Hi Jorge, You're not alone :) I'm using rsync the backup some vmware servers. Small files work without any problems but the large (-flat.vmdk) file only works the first time. (I do create a snapshot before syncing) This is the log: -------------------------- Sync the -flat.vmdk file (Vcenter Server-flat.vmdk) rsync: read errors mapping "/vmfs/volumes/4cf36d72-d19e4c8a-cec8-d485645b13ad/Vcenter Server/Vcenter Server-flat.vmdk": Invalid argument (22) ERROR: Vcenter Server-flat.vmdk failed verification -- update discarded. rsync: read errors mapping "/vmfs/volumes/4cf36d72-d19e4c8a-cec8-d485645b13ad/Vcenter Server/Vcenter Server-flat.vmdk": Invalid argument (22) rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1518) [generator=3.0.9] Thu Mar 1 10:43:00 CET 2012 FAILED: rsync on Vcenter Server failed (vmdk-flat file) (0) -------------------------- Some details: The both systems are running VMware ESX 4.1.0 build-260247 (Red Hat 5.1). The filesystem is ext3. I tried both rsync 3.0.7 and 3.0.9. The filesize is 80G / 200G (both ESX servers make copies of the other ESX server. Both ESX servers give the same error) Removing the --sparse parameter doesn't work The rsync command used is: /usr/local/bin/rsync -t -e "ssh -i /operator/vmbackup/vm_image_key -l root" --rsync-path=/operator/rsync --sparse --stats "192.168.1.10:/vmfs/volumes/4cf36d72-d19e4c8a-cec8-d485645b13ad/Server02/Server02-flat.vmdk" "/vmfs/volumes/VM-Datastore-VMHOST02//Server02/" The backup script runs at multiple customers (some are also ESX 4.1 machines), but this is the only one giving an error. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
