Hi.
I read this from the Current Issues:
1. Q: Transfers die with something like
rsync: error writing 4 unbuffered bytes - exiting: Broken pipe
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at ../src/io.c(463)
A: Sometimes fatal error messages from the remote machine can be
lost on the way to the client; you should investigate on the
server for something stopping the transmission. The most common
cause is that the destination disk is full.
I was able to reproduce this error, but it was not because the disk was
full. In fact, I only realized what it was when I ran rsync from a
different host (ie. different version of rsync):
ERROR: module is read only
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(455)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (28 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150)
Aha! Adding "read only = false" fixed it.
rsync 2.5.5 did not report this as a read only problem, 2.5.6 did. If
many people are having this problem, perhaps it would be advisable to
update the current issues.
