[BackupPC-users] Parent read EOF from child only on large files (over 3GB)

[<ma...@ne...>]

Hello List,

I have a problem with backuppc, which maybe you could help me to solve.

I am using rsyncd to perform the backups, and they work, unless there are very 
large files (3GB or larger). In this case, they fail.

This is what I get on the backup machine:

...
  create   660   106/109     5242880 home/mysql/ib_logfile0
  create   660   106/109     5242880 home/mysql/ib_logfile1
Read EOF: Connection reset by peer
Tried again: got 0 bytes
finish: removing in-process file home/mysql/ibdata1
  delete d 755   106/109        4096 home/mysql/test
  delete   660   106/109  3095396352 home/mysql/ibdata1
  delete d 700   106/109        4096 home/mysql/postfix
  delete d 755   106/109        4096 home/mysql/mysql
... (some more lines like these, then, finally)...
  delete   644       0/0     1197435 tms_backup.log
  delete d 755       0/0       12288 lost+found
Child is aborting
Parent read EOF from child: fatal error!
Done: 22241 files, 482733867 bytes
Got fatal error during xfer (Child exited prematurely)
Backup aborted (Child exited prematurely)


This is what I get on the machine being backed up:

2009/03/26 09:22:11 [30029] rsync on . from backupuser@beastieboy
2009/03/26 09:22:11 [30029] building file list
2009/03/26 09:22:45 [29443] rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes 
[sender]: Connection timed out (110)
2009/03/26 09:22:45 [29443] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream 
(code 12) at io.c(1122) [sender=2.6.9]


This happens all the time, on the same file. On other machines, it is the 
same, if the file is that large.

What can be done to this?
