Hello all! I've got CGYWIN running on an NT4 server, which in turn allows me to run Rsync as a daemon on this system. And might I say, it works most excellently, except for one flaw. It doesn't work on my raid drive(s). I have a 56 gig NTFS RAID5 drive running off an adaptec raid-port controller card. I have two other drives in this system, a 4 gig SCSI boot drive, and 60 gig IDE drive. I can Rsync off the 4 gig SCSI, and 60 gig IDE, but when I try to rsync off the RAID5 setup, the client fails. root@antitrust:/usr/storage/raid5# rsync -a --stats 10.10.10.15::d ./ @ERROR: chdir failed rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(151) I've done some poking around for this @ERROR: chdir failed, but with no luck. If I try on the IDE drive: root@antitrust:/usr/storage/raid5# rsync -av --stats 10.10.10.15::e/users/james/SSH ./ receiving file list ... done .... and so on until it completes. so you can see that it works. Here is my config: use chroot = false strict modes = false hosts allow = * [c] path = /cygdrive/c <- this is my 4gig scsi read only = yes list = no [d] path = /cygdrive/d <- this is my 5 disc SCSI RAID5 read only = yes list = yes [e] path = /cygdrive/e <- this is my 60 gig IDE read only = yes list = yes Any light anyone could shed on this issue would be most helpful, as the data I really wish to backup is on the RAID obviously.

If so, I don't see how it can be a problem in rsync. Make sure you can access the files from a shell prompt. - Dave Dykstra
Dave, Any more thoughts on what the problem could be? I sent a response direct to you over the weekend without a CC to the list, wondering if you received it. Cheers, James -- James Couzens Network Manager, Market News Publishing (604) 689-1101 TEL (604) 689-1106 FAX james@baystreet.com
