Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I have a script that downloads my distfiles from machines on our LAN |
| 4 |
before going over the internet. It uses rsync over ssh to get files |
| 5 |
locally, then defaults to wget for internet downloads. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
The command line is basically this: |
| 8 |
/usr/bin/rsync -avzP --password-file=<filename> rsync://<user>@<host/path> <filename>" |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
which works fine most of the time, so I know the syntax, password and |
| 11 |
permissions are correct. However, sometimes rsync "dies" (the download |
| 12 |
process just stops) and I get this sort of message: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Password: *password sent* |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
receiving file list ... |
| 18 |
rsync: link_stat "/usr/portage/distfiles/Net-DNS-0.59.tar.gz" failed: No |
| 19 |
such file or directory (2) |
| 20 |
0 files to consider |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
sent 8 bytes received 21 bytes 58.00 bytes/sec |
| 23 |
total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 |
| 24 |
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at |
| 25 |
main.c(1298) [receiver=2.6.8] |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
And the download won't continue - nor do I get the prompt back because |
| 29 |
rsync seems to lock the script up at this point by not returning. This |
| 30 |
is really annoying when it stops at 3 of 50! I don't mind killing it, |
| 31 |
but sometimes this is supposed to run unattended... |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Now fair enough, if the file doesn't exist, I can't rsync it, but most |
| 34 |
of the time, this makes rsync just exit, and the script continues. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
All I can get from google and docs is that code 23 is a "general" error, |
| 37 |
meaning some read / write / delete failed. I'm not out of disk space. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
can anyone shed light on this issue? thanks! |

I have an existential map. It has "You are here" written all over it. |
