Hello. I have a strange problem with rsync With a cron, I run a script that launches about 30 processes at once, two of which fail, always the same. It worked fine until recently. The commands executed are of the type: rsync -Aavq --password-file=passfile --del --log-file=logfile rsync://user at machine1/path /mnt/backups/machine1/ rsync -Aavq --password-file=passfile --del --log-file=logfile rsync://user at machine2/path /mnt/backups/machine2/ /mnt/backups is a path mounted with nfs The error received is: [3565] Receiving file list [3565] rsync: chown "/mnt/backups/machine1/usr/local/etc/inspircd" failed: Invalid argument (22) [3591] rsync error: Received SIGUSR1 (code 19) at main.c (1402) [receiver = 3.1.0dev] [3565] rsync error: errors with program diagnostics (code 13) at log.c (247) [generator = 3.1.0dev] In machine1 [36714] connect from backups.domain (X.X.X.X) [36714] rsync on path / from user at backups.domain (XXXX) [36714] building file list [36714] rsync: connection Unexpectedly closed (56 bytes Received so far) [sender] [36714] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c (601) [sender = 3.0.7] If I run the script manually it works correctly. I have also tried to put a strace to see if it yields more information, but with strace does not fail. Someone could help me?
