Hello, all. I've encountered an odd error that I haven't been able to identify and resolve myself. Hoping someone here could provide some guidance.
I'm using the following command to rsync files between two servers, over the internet (if that matters), via SSH: rsync -ahu --timeout=600 --bwlimit=5120 -v -e "ssh -i /path/to/key" --filter=". /path/to/filter" /path/to/source/ u...@remote.server.com:dest This works perfectly fine. However, I recently realized that I forgot to the --delete option, so there are a great number of stale files on the remote server at this point. Adding --delete is when I run into my problem: sending incremental file list hard-link reference out of range: 105 (10) rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at flist.c(769) [Receiver=3.1.2] The source and destination servers are running the same versions of rsync, ssh, etc., so I think that last line can be ignored. The "hard-link reference out of range" line seems to be the main issue, but I cannot figure out what would be causing this. I enabled various debug options in both rsync and ssh, but I can't find anything in the debug output that would indicate the problem. I tried searching, but the only result I've found outside of source code (https://github.com/xonsh/xonsh/issues/2134) is for something that seems unrelated - it's a python project that calls rsync, apparently incorrectly, resulting in that error. In my case I'm calling rsync directly from bash, so the given solution in that bug report doesn't seem to apply here. Any suggestions? I'm stumped, and I really need to figure out how to clean up the stale files on the remote server as it's running low on space I'm happy to provide any additional information regarding debug logs or whatever if it would help, just didn't want to spam the list with a bunch of potentially irrelevant information. Thanks. Appreciate any and all guidance. -- Jared -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
