Hello,
I'm using a server to back up to. It's an rsync server, version 2.6.3. I have approximately 3.9 million files to sync up periodically.
The problem is that the client keeps dying on me, and I can't repeat where it happens at, and I don't get any logs server side. All I see on client side is:
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (587704 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(359)
The machine has a low ammount of ram, however, it has a ton of swap. It goes deep into swap during all of this, but doesn't get anywhere close to using it up. If it was, i'd expect to see kernel messages about such and such being killed off, but I don't.
I have other systems doing rsync transfers to other rsync servers, of the same version, with no problems. Granted, none of them are trying to do anywhere close to 3.9 million files.
This is the closest explaination I've found. Unfortuately I don't know of a way to make the problem go away.
