I've attempted to reproduce this issue but I've not been able to at this point with stock 14.04 rsync versions between two 14.04 (up-to-date) systems. It may be highly dependent on the actual data; if you can reproduce this with something publicly available (like a large iso catted together multiple times or something else that I can create bit- for-bit); that'd help me narrowing down the fix.
Could someone who can reproduce this issue please run apport-collect 1384503 so I can get more information from the systems where you can reproduce? W.r.t 3.1.1, we cannot backport the newer package into Trusty, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for the policy and rationale. However, I will take a look at the changes in 3.1.1 to enable the new- style compression as well as the logic to detect when there is a mismatch; If that patchset is small and sane, we may be able to SRU just that change to fix this issue in Trusty. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1384503 Title: rsync fails on large files with compression To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsync/+bug/1384503/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
