Package: rsync
Version: 2.6.9-2etch1
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss
Hi,
I did notice that rsync fails to transfer some files (eg:
/var/log/ntpstats/*) and dies on files in that directory on any
non-initial run.
On the first run, it all goes well.
On the subsequent runs:
donald:~# rsync -aAzHRxby -vP --exclude='var/log/ntpstats' --numeric-ids
--suffix='' --backup-dir=/backup/local/gloups.lncsa.com/2008-04-YY
'gloups.lncsa.com:/{etc,var/log}'
/backup/local/gloups.lncsa.com/current
receiving file list ...
14452 files to consider
...
...
var/log/ntpstats/
var/log/ntpstats/loopstats
884 100% 1.59kB/s 0:00:00 (xfer#11, to-check=182/14473)
var/log/ntpstats/peerstats
8306 100% 14.97kB/s 0:00:00 (xfer#12, to-check=172/14473)
zsh: segmentation fault rsync -aAzHRxby -vP --numeric-ids --suffix=''
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (120216 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(453)
[sender=2.6.9]
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (447235 bytes received so far) [receiver]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(453)
[receiver=2.6.9]
If i now use an exclude (--exclude='var/log/ntpstats'), it finishes
without any problem.
I did use critical severity because, if you use rsync to make backups...
it can be messy to realize your backups are just useless.
Thanks
Laurent

OK, I'll mark it as closed then.
Feel free to reopen it (or open a new bug report) if it does fail again
for you.
Thanks,
