rsync daemon fails to respond
Last modified: 2010-06-28 07:28:30 EDT
Description of problem: I like to use rsync to synchronize the files between similar systems. Had one XO (OLPC) [IP 192.168.1.8] running rawhide-xo. Converted a second XO [IP 192.168.1.9] to rawhide-xo. Wanted to copy files from the first to the second. Set up /etc/rsyncd.conf at the first <it defines [verse]>, and entered 'rsync --daemon'. Entered 'rsync -a 192.168.1.8::verse/dir/ /home/user/dir' at the second. Expected files to be copied from dir at the first to dir at the second [this is how I successfully synchronize non-rawhide (e.g., F9) systems.] The command at the second XO failed [with the misleading error message "failed to connect to 192.168.1.8: No route to host (113)"]. The reason the error message is misleading is that the exact same error message is produced if I never started the daemon on 192.168.1.8 (an XO running rawhide); further, if instead I try the rsync to a daemon on 192.168.1.7 (an XO running F9), everything works -- so the 'route' *is* there. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rsync-3.0.5-1.fc11.i586 How reproducible: Happened every time I tried to contact the daemon on the XO running rawhide. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Set up and launch the rsync daemon on XO running rawhide 2.Try to contact that daemon from another system 3. Actual results: "Contact" to rsync daemon not established (no files compared or transferred). Expected results: The files in the indicated directory trees would be compared, and replacements would be transferred from the target system to the requesting system, so as to synchronize those directory trees Additional info: Running rawhide-xo file 20090312.img, installed on XO via 'copy-nand'
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
