I compiled rsync-2.5.5 on HPUX 11.11, using the +DA2.0W and +O3 options. invoking a simple rsync to transfer a file works (I ran a diff on the file, no changes) e.g: sdx1 214: ./rsync --rsh='/usr/bin/ssh -x' --rsync-path=/usr/local/src/rsync-2.5.5/rsync /scratch/chuck/tmp.test sdx2:/scratch/chuck However, adding the -a option yields an unexplained error: (In all of the following cases

Hello, I received the following socket error when I try to run 'configure' on a new HP-UX 11.i server. (It works fine of HP-UX 11.0) Can anyone help with this error? checking for struct stat.st_rdev... yes checking for ino_t... yes checking for socklen_t... no checking for socklen_t equivalent... configure: error: Cannot find a type to use in place of socklen_t

I believe I have found the cause of the unexplained error (code ??) at main.c(line #). In the version I'm running 2.5.2 (obtained from the Free Software Foundation) the line number is 576. It appears the root cause is related to a race condition associated with the termination of child processes. If the signal handler for SIGCHILD is executed, as the result of a child termination, before the

Everything worked, files transferred fine however a -vvv reveals that the process did not end clean. The error is not seen with -v or even -vv.

Hi, we ran into a little problem with rsync-2.5.5. Setup: you run rsync-2.5.5 as normal rsync over ssh (ie. not connecting to a rsync server). If you start such a rsync but interrupt the pulling process with Ctrl-C, the process on the other side may start to allocate all memory on the remote machine. As fa as we have analyzed the problem, the remote rsync process wants to issue a error message

Hi all, While trying to mirror a filesystem from one machine to another (for backup purposes) I get the following error: [root@samantha root]# /usr/bin/rsync -qavxzC --delete chandler:/var/ /bigdisk/backup/chandler/dev-md5-var/ root@chandler's password: rsync error: unexplained error (code 24) at main.c(1045) Does this mean anything to anybody?

I'm trying to use rsync (2.5.6 on both sides) to copy a home directory from one system (Solaris 2.6) to another (Solaris 9); the command is running on the Sol9 version and is fetching files; I'm using rsync with SSH, rather than in client/server mode. The command line I've used is: rsync --archive --verbose --rsh=ssh rsr@fold:/home/rsr /home I've attempted this both as the rsr

I first reported this bug go Red Hat in <URL:https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65350>.

Hi All, I'm new to this group so please be gentle, I have scoured the internet and gone all through the archives & FAQ's looking for an answer to this. I'm using v2.5.5 of rsync which I compiled from source on a Solaris 9 box. I'm connecting to a Linux machine over SSH and pulling files back to me. The section from the log that shows the error with vvv verbosity is...

Rsync-2.5.2 does not gracefully report connection and transfer errors and always properly return with a non-zero exit code, despite many assurances to the contrary in the code and commit logs. It seems a kludge to handle a special case of lost connections to older servers was FAR too aggressive! With '-vvv' I also print the source of the exit_cleanup() call, and optionally with

Hi, In http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg01155.html, I noted that the often-observed hangs of rsync under Cygwin were assuaged by a call to msleep(). After upgrading my Cygwin environment to rsync 2.5.6, I'm seeing these hangs again, not surprisingly given a CVS entry for main.c notes that this kludge was not harmless: Revision 1.162 / (download) - annotate - [select for
