Issue while doing rsync from ubuntu mirrors

[Mail List]

Hello Jared,


Yeah. We have tried several mirrors, however all are failing with this error. This worked well for all the other flavors of Linux. We are facing issue while syncing from Ubuntu only. That's why we thought if this is an Ubuntu specific issue.

Thanks for your suggestions, Jared :).

Now I've initiated one more rsync with the options you mentioned. Let us see how it goes.

By the way, may I know if any one else also can throw some light into this??

Hi All, 

We are facing an issue while rsyncing packages from the ubuntu mirrors. 

The commands we used are as the following 
---- 
/usr/bin/rsync -avzH --bwlimit=50000 --delay-updates --delete --exclude-from=/opt/crucial_mirror/ubuntu-exclude-list.txt --exclude "Packages*" --exclude "Sources*" --exclude "Release*" rsync:// mirror.uber.com.au/ubuntu/archive/ /distros/ubuntu; 

/usr/bin/rsync -avzH --bwlimit=50000 --delay-updates --delete --exclude-from=/opt/crucial_mirror/ubuntu-exclude-list.txt rsync:// mirror.uber.com.au/ubuntu/archive/ /distros/ubuntu; 
---- 

The command will start rsync process, however after a few hours, it will get failed with an error message like this: 
---------- 
rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer (104) 
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(759) [receiver=3.0.6] 
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (21172499 bytes received so far) [generator] 
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(600) [generator=3.0.6] 
---------- 


Earlier, we have tried without setting bandwidth limit for rsync, however that also failed. 

We tried to rsync from several mirrors (uber, aarnet). However, all failed. 

This command worked well when we tried to sync from mirrors of other favors. Any issues noted with Ubuntu mirrors? 

Regards

Is the error the same for both mirrors you are trying to use? Does the rsync start off from where it finished last time? I rsync from aarnet regularly and don't face any problems although it must be said I don't use as much switches. If it helps, my command is: 


rsync -vtlrh --ipv4 --progress --stats --delete --exclude .~tmp~/ www.mirror.aarnet.edu.au::ubuntu /media/Repository/ubuntu/ 


I would start with trying to eliminate errors from the mirror end and internet connectivity end (connection reset by peer seems a bit connectivity related rather than rsync related according to the samba help site - question 3 at http://rsync.samba.org/issues.html ). Otherwise perhaps give my working one a try and see if it runs all the way though. If that works, I'm at a loss and hopefully someone else can chime in.
