http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.rsync.general/24044

I have been trying to backup some files which rsync and it always chokes on
this file.

It simple halts with a non intuitive error message.

rsync --version produces this info :

rsync  version 3.0.4  protocol version 30

It is the same on boths sides of the llink

Can it be tested in some way?


Is there some process for getting the rsync developers to check it?

Here is a link to the file: http://lz.rca2.net/colinux-0.7.5.exe

One man's non intuitive error message is another man's full story of 
what went wrong.

It's very unlikely that the problem is with the file's contents. 
It's
much more likely a problem with permissions or differing options between 
filesystems.  Please send the error message to the list.

I don't have 3.0.4 anywhere, but that file transferred perfectly fine to 
and from pairs of machines running 3.0.{6, 7, and 8}.
