Rsync error on multiple servers

ZigZam · 09-20-2008, 02:49 PM

I am running rsync off the backup server to draw files from the servers being backed up. The majority of the servers work without issue, but several servers do majority of the backup process but all of a sudden fail with the error:

PHP Code:


			
Read from remote host IPRemoved: Connection timed out

rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (94260887 bytes received so far) [receiver]

rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(463) [receiver=2.6.8]

rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4092 bytes [generator]: Broken pipe (32)

rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(1119) [generator=2.6.8]

The rsync command I am running is:

PHP Code:


			
rsync -avz  --delete -e 'ssh -p 1010' root@IPReomved:/disk1/cpbackup/daily/ /storage1/

Any idea what it wrong?

Note the version of rsync is:

# rsync --version
rsync version 2.6.8 protocol version 29

Both servers are online the entire process.

I think it might have something to do with the remote servers fingerprint not being in the rsync servers ~/.ssh/known_hosts file.

I did some testing and accepting the remote servers fingerprint or inserting it into known-hosts file seems to resolve the issue.

Hope this helps.
