Hi
I was using rsync with the following options
rsync -aPH --exclude-from=/var/tmp/ignorelist /home/me/
/run/media/me/ADATA\ #2/rsync-me/
and I was creating a copy of a home directory on my Linux machine. It
went along for sometime (some 30,000 files) when it stopped with the
following message.
--->
Desktop/OSme/Web-Site-Backups/backup-5.4.2014_15-11-43_linux014.tar.gz
4288446464 78% 32.15MB/s 0:00:36
rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes to socket [sender]: Broken
pipe (32)

rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(605)

<---
I suspect, because the 4,288,446,464 is so close to 2^32 that it is
32 bit limit error of some kind. It happened twice on the same file.
The version I am using is rsync.x86_64 version on Fedora 21. It appears
that although it says it is a 64 bit version something in the code must
be limited by 32 bit values.
I could be off track here but I don't think so. I do not know how to
raise a Possible Bug Report so I post my concerns here. Thanks...
Robert
