Just a quick heads up to say I'm still getting this (reproducable) error while doing daily backups:
rsync: generator.c:1872: check_for_finished_files: Assertion `flist != ((void *)0)' failed. rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4092 bytes [receiver]: Broken pipe (32) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(1500) [receiver=3.0.0pre2] This is with cvs (updated Wed Oct 17 10:28:30 UTC 2007) Again, if I remove all usage of --link-dest, it works. Horribly wasteful of disk/network/time, but it works. So you don't have to chase through various posts, this is the commandline used. # Sample command, obfuscated to protect the guilty rsync --archive --hard-links --no-motd \ --numeric-ids --sparse --verbose \ --link-dest $BACKUPPATH/hydrogen/wednesday/ \ --link-dest $BACKUPPATH/helium/wednesday/ \ --link-dest $BACKUPPATH/lithium/wednesday/ \ --link-dest $BACKUPPATH/beryllium/wednesday/ \ --link-dest $BACKUPPATH/oxygen/wednesday/ \ --link-dest $BACKUPPATH/fluorine/tuesday/ \ --password-file $BACKUPPATH/fluorine/$BACKUPPASSWORDFILE \ --temp-dir $BACKUPPATH/fluorine/ \ rsync://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:$BACKUPPORT/$BACKUPMODULE/ \ $BACKUPPATH/fluorine/wednesday/ \ &> $BACKUPPATH/fluorine/wednesday.log To reproduce the error, all I have to do is 'cp -a --parents /usr/share/zoneinfo/ /root/' on fluorine prior to pulling.
