For months I have been getting the following error when attempting to mirror fedora core stuff: rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4092 bytes: phase "unknown" [generator]: Connection reset by peer (104) rsync error: received SIGUSR1 or SIGINT (code 20) at main.c(965) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(909) Before FC, I was getting the same error for consumer redhat (7.3, 8.0, 9, etc). ftpadmin at redhat.com is about as helpful as a headache and treated me like a clueless smuck. Public comment! ftpadmin at redhat.com = big ass dork! :-P First solution was upgrade rsync. $ rsync --version rsync version 2.6.3 protocol version 28 I always run the latest stable version. Next was ACL(?) problem my side, but they could not explain how I can get some files, before the error. Next was QoS in our core router. Uhh, what QoS? Don't do any QoS for this segment in the core router. Next was vlan issue, it's not on a vlan issue. Next was load balancer problem their side (ah!) first intelligent response. Never head anything about it. Followed up, a couple weeks later, got rsync version speech. Groan. Sent the email from ftpadmin about LB problem. Silence. Followed up again. Silence. More or less gave up and did this: while (true); do ~/bin/rsync-fedora-redhat ; sleep 5m; done Eventually(!) I get everything but only days, if not weeks after the release onto the download master mirrors. Most of the helpful troubleshooting advise (http://rsync.samba.org/issues.html) is for the server side of the connection. So, I'm at a loss what to do next.
