I'm seeing an error that says there is a broken pipe, but the rsync command is local to one machine:
/usr/bin/rsync -rltH --stats -D --delete --numeric-ids --whole-file /data/dir /backup/suse1/suse1-data-dir/ >/tmp/rsync-out 2>&1 The complete contents of the rsync-out file are: rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 88 bytes [receiver]: Broken pipe (32) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(1122) [receiver=2.6.9] Q3 on http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/issues.html implies that the error message necessarily involves a remote rsync. Does anybody know what the message means for a local transfer, please? Thanks, Dave -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
