Package: rdiff-backup
Version: 1.2.8-7
Severity: normal
Hi.
Trying to clean old remote backups leads to failure talking to the remote
rdiff-backup --server :
# /usr/bin/rdiff-backup -v 9 --remove-older-than 190D
backup@machineB.local::/mnt/backups/machineA
Fri Jan 10 08:06:23 2014 Using rdiff-backup version 1.2.8
Fri Jan 10 08:06:23 2014 Executing ssh -C backup@machineB.local rdiff-backup
--server
Fri Jan 10 08:06:23 2014 Client sending (0): ConnectionRequest: Globals.get
with 1 arguments
Fri Jan 10 08:06:23 2014 Client sending (0): 'version'
ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer
Fri Jan 10 10:06:40 2014 Fatal Error: Truncated header string (problem
probably originated remotely)
Couldn't start up the remote connection by executing
ssh -C backup@machineB.local rdiff-backup --server
Remember that, under the default settings, rdiff-backup must be
installed in the PATH on the remote system. See the man page for more
information on this. This message may also be displayed if the remote
version of rdiff-backup is quite different from the local version (1.2.8).
Both machineA and machineB run 1.2.8.
Right after start of the command, a ps on machineB doesn't exhibit any
rdiff-backup running :-/
For whatever reason, the remote process dies, and the local client takes 2h to
abort the communication.
Note that this isn't systematic, as sometimes, it will work at first try :-/
# /usr/bin/rdiff-backup --remove-older-than 190D
backup@machineB.local::/mnt/backups/machineA
No increments older than Thu Jul 4 22:08:16 2013 found, exiting.
Dunno what happens... probaby a client-server communication issue ?
FWIW, the client is a dreamplug machine (ARM) and the server is a laptop
(amd64).
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
