causes this error



sending incremental file list
rsync: [sender] write error: Broken pipe (32)
rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at io.c(829) [sender=3.1.3]

Where is the pipe in this script and how did it break?

What do I do?

Thank you.

“rsync” works by sending the data over a pipe between two “rsync” processes.

I’m having trouble understanding your command. But maybe that’s me. I expect the last argument to be the destination directory, but I am seeing something that starts with “-” as the last argument.

Hi there,

I suspect this has something to do with unescaped spaces in the paths. For example, this part:

 /run/media/david/776ef86b- -2c8023c2581c/david/___David

Should probably look like this:

 /run/media/david/776ef86b-\ -2c8023c2581c/david/___David

Cheers!

I assume the bits after /run/media/david are mountpoints created from USB devices. These AFAIK should not have spaces at all.

The command shown was editted by me, I removed the middle of the disk name.

In the actual command, the disk names have no spaces.

I’ve sucessfully used this command before.

There are 3 disks involved, the main boot disk, and 2 data disks.

I’m trying to make an exact copy from disk 2 to disk 3 using rsync.

Uneditted command is here.



rsync --archive --checksum  --checksum-choice='md5,md5'  --verbose --delete     \
      --progress  --stats  --whole-file   --include='*.*'                                               \
      --log-file='/home/david/___David/rsync/Eight_Disk_Copy_Log.txt'                   \
      /run/media/david/776ef86b-d2d5-4b01-8cb8-2c8023c2581c/david/___David     \
      /run/media/david/98b9e487-fc77-4182-acc1-edf39e211b93/david

Q1) Could using disks 2 and 3 during this rsync command cause this?
Q2) Could YAST doing a SW install cause this?

Thank you.
