From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031030 Galeon/1.3.10 Description of problem: I had ISOs in a dir locally, and updated ISOs on a remote server. I tried to update them with.. (19:05:58:davej@delerium:iso)$ rsync -e ssh -avz --progress servername.com/path-to-isos/ . davej's password: receiving file list ... 7 files to consider ./ disc1-ftp.iso inflate returned -3 (0 bytes) 0:46:51 rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at token.c(416) rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (194 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165) (19:08:37:davej@delerium:amd64-iso)$ As the ISOs contain compressed RPMs, and ssh also uses compression, I'm guessing that rsync couldn't compress further, but the local side couldn't handle this situation. I retried, got the same error and then just rm'd and started a fresh rsync. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rsync-2.5.6-19 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. See description 2. 3. Additional info:
hmm, rsync -e ssh -avz --progress user@server:/path/to/isos . works for me. On the client side I have rsync-2.5.6-19 (from FC1) and on the server side I have rsync-2.4.6-13 (from RH7.2 errata). also running the rsync against localhost on the FC1 box seems to be working.
I was also able to successfully run rsync -e ssh -avz --progress user@server:/path/to/isos . My client is RHL9 running rsync-2.5.6-19, and the server side is running rsync-2.5.6-19 on FC1. Davej, is it possible for you to make one of those "iso with compressed RPM's" available for me to grab?
Rsync 2.6.4 contains a fix for a compress problem when sending large files. I think it should fix this.
I've not been able to reproduce this for since I reported it, so I'm ok with this being closed. (Its also against an EOL product).
