Hi,
Whenever I try to do an emerge sync or rsync I get the following error
message.
receiving file list...
39509 files to consider

ERROR: out of memory in receive_sums
rsync: read error: connection reset by peer
rsync: error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(177)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (929033 bytes read so far)
rsync: error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165)
I beleive that code 12 is ENOMEM. I have 384M of ram (about 40M of which is
free when the error occurs) and 856M of free hd. I have no swap space after a
hd failiure, but it has worked since then and has only recently stopped
working.
Does anyone know why this is happening and/or how to fix it?
Have you tried different sync mirrors and if so they does it happen with
other mirrors too? Memory and CPU is an undoubtedly an issue since
portage updates around 7000 files according to carpaski but that is
towards the end of the sync process and should not give errors. Your
problems look to be at the start of the process which is more likely to do
with the mirror. Just some thoughts.
