[Bug 1300367] Re: rsync 3.1.0 and 3.0.9 incompatibility

[Nick Craig-Wood]

I can confirm this problem.

It seems to be due to a miscompilation of rsync and the zlib library

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10372

Trying the transfer without -z / --compress works fine.

The bug seems to show itself when transferring big files ( 1.5GB in my
case)

I think this should be fixed urgently!

Title:
  rsync 3.1.0 and 3.0.9 incompatibility

Status in “rsync” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When running rsync on a directory of a few hundred files from rsync
  3.0.9-4 on Ubuntu 13.04 Raring to rsync 3.1.0-2 on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty
  rsync errors with:

  rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at
  io.c(441) [sender=3.0.9]

  Here is the full command I'm trying to run:

  rsync --delay-updates -FF --compress --timeout=10 --archive --rsh 'ssh
  -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no' --out-format='<<CHANGED>>%i %n%L'
  templates/dotfiles/ wirehive at 172.2.0.1.128:/home/wirehive/

  If I repeatedly run this after maybe 4 times it will succeed.
