I'm currently testing v4 and I'm getting a lot of these on large hosts (half a million files, roughly):

I have seen something similar when backing up Windows hosts. The backup process aborted with

rsync_bpc: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 8 bytes to message fd [receiver]: Broken pipe (32) Done: 234 errors, 0 filesExist, 0 sizeExist, 0 sizeExistComp, 0 filesTotal, 0 sizeTotal, 104 filesNew, 688129448 sizeNew, 688129448 sizeNewComp, 137197 inode rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(1556) [receiver=3.0.9.3] rsync_bpc exited with fatal status 0 (139) (rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(1556) [receiver=3.0.9.3])
Xfer PIDs are now
Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share vDrive)
Backup aborted (No files dumped for share vDrive)

And the sender side is logging

2014/04/29 14:34:25 [1532] rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer (104) 2014/04/29 14:34:25 [1532] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at /home/lapo/package/rsync-3.0.9-1/src/rsync-3.0.9/io.c(764) [sender=3.0.9]

this is when backing up a moderately sized volume (40 GB) with ~80.000 files. I could trace it back to a set of files which seemed to trigger the issue. Excluding the directory in question from my backup configuration helped the backup run to complete. I did not do any further testing though, so the cause for the failures is still unknown, but it might be worth checking if your backups abort on the transmission of a specific directory or file.

Denis
