rsync connection problems since upgrading ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10
I believe I have an issue / incompatibility with rsync 3.x. I'm hoping someone can help shed some light and /or unblock me. I had a reliable rsnapshot backup system in place with ubuntu 8.04 and my windows desktop. After fresh installing 8.10 I consistently got: rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer (104) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(794) [receiver=3.0.3] rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (356 bytes received so far) [generator] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(635) [generator=3.0.3] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ERROR: /usr/bin/rsync returned 12 while processing napoleon.local::docsnsettings in the Windows ( cwrsync 3.0.1 ) daemon's log it looked like this: 2009/02/06 03:15:41 [4200] building file list 2009/02/06 03:16:09 [4200] rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 5 bytes [sender]: Connection reset by peer (104) 2009/02/06 03:16:09 [4200] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(1518) [sender=3.0.5] this is what rsnapshot executes: /usr/bin/rsync -aq --delete --relative --delete-excluded --log-file=/storage/home/ido/rsync.ido.log --exclude-from=/storage/home/rsnapshot.exclude.txt napoleon.local::docsnsettings /storage/backup/ido/daily.0/docsnsettings Before, when it worked, it was ubuntu 8.04's rsync 2.6.9-6 attaching to cwRsyncServer v.2.1.5 ( which contains rsync 3.0.0 or 3.0.1 ) Ubuntu 8.10 ships with rsync 3.0.3. Updating the Windows rsync to 3.0.5 did not fix the issue. ( the above snippets are 3.0.3 <- 3.0.5 syncs ) Force-downgrading Ubuntu 8.10's rsync to 2.6.9 resolved the issue. My Windows machine ( sender ) is still using a 3.x rsync. My syncs are error-free again. Does anyone have any idea what's going on? i'd like to not have to lock my rsync at 2.6.9.
