Hi,
The description of "rsync_numtries" setting in rsnapshot.conf seems to
be incorrect:
# Number of rsync re-tries. If you experience any network problems or
# network card issues that tend to cause ssh to crap-out with
# "Corrupted MAC on input" errors, for example, set this to a non-zero
# value to have the rsync operation re-tried
#
#rsync_numtries 0
According to rsnapshot source code, this value correspond to the total
number of tries, including the first one.
See /usr/bin/rsnapshot, line #170:
# set default for number of tries
my $rsync_numtries = 1; # by default, try once
... and line #3695:
my $tryCount = 0;
$result = 1;
if (0 == $test) {
while ($tryCount < $rsync_numtries && $result !=0) {
# join is Michael Ashley's fix for some filter/space problems
$result = system(join(' ', @cmd_stack));
$tryCount += 1;
}
...
}
As a consequence, this setting never should have value < 1.
Thank you,
