I'm getting errors when backing up one of my servers to an rsync server using rsync.
I am backing up four servers to this one rsync server. Two of them are gentoo. The only one having problems is the one system i'm talking about.
On the client side I see this error, after it's gotten well into the backup. It seems to be a random point.
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (5052622 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(359)
And on the server side:
rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 44 bytes: phase "unknown" [generator]: Connection reset by peer (104)
The server rsync version is 2.6.3, as is the client. One of the other clients which always succeeds (and has more data to transfer) is also 2.6.3. The other clients are lower versions.
Any ideas?
I get a similar problem under a different setup. I did find this, which explains what I'm seeing when I rsync from a lightly loaded box to a heavily loaded one.

I'm not sure it's applicable in your case, but might be if the problem server has faster disks then the others or is less loaded which might cause it to blow the buffers on the receiving server.
