package: rsync version: 2.6.4-6 severity: important Hi,
IMHO the failure is similar to (the closed) #308733, that is I get an error "io timeout after 50 seconds -- exiting rsync error: timeout in data send/receive (code 30) at io.c(181)" I'm not sure if #308733 did occur when running rsync as a standalone server (as was indicated in the closing mail, which also linked to #308428 and #307923, which are about standalone rsync server, if I understood correctly.) I'm not running a rsync server, instead I'm running this script for my backup: excl=" --exclude $foo --exclude $bar" time rsync --timeout=50 -v -z -e ssh -av $excl --delete $HOME $targethost: If I exclude my mail-directory from this (which is obviusly not what I want...) I don't get the error. If I only rsync the mail directory I still get the error. Both systems are running sarge, so I first encoutered the error with rsync 2.6.4-5 - after browsing the BTS I updated to 2.6.4-6 on both sides. (The system where the scripts runs is powerpc so I had to manually build 2.6.4-6 there, because so far it hasnt been autobuild on ppc. On the other side I just installed the binary-deb from sid.) regards, Holger
