hi list, today i wanted to mirror two hosts by using rsync with ssh. unfortunately this are a 6.4 and 7.1 suse-system with different rsync-version (6.4 => rsync-2.3.2-22, 7.1 => rsync-2.4.6-37). after the first mirroring (got a complete list of all relevant files, okay) the next time i executed my script i got the following error: ... receiving file list ... done unexpected EOF in read_timeout i tested some hints (--timeout=1000 etc.) but nothing has lead to success. does anyone out there know the solution? many thanks in advance, daniel -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net

This error is typical for SSH errors, i.e. no connection. In such cases, try "ssh host" - in most cases this will not work. My cron jobs report this errors for the hosts which are down. You can trace this problem when useing "ssh -v", but I don't know how to apply that option the rsync as pass-through to SSH... Well, otherwise you could use strace -f rsync ... oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es trägt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.

I'm using the following rsync-parameter: --rsh="/usr/bin/ssh -v -o Compression=yes -c blowfish" works as expected, I see the ssh-verbose-messages and the normal rsync-output. c'ya sven -- The Internet treats censorship as a routing problem, and routes around it.
