In order to have local copies of my web pages hosted on VPS I have configured rsync cronjob to sync everything during the night to my local box.
Sometimes with larger files you can encounter errors like these:
Received disconnect from [YOUR_IP]: 2: Packet corrupt rsync: [sender] write error: Broken pipe (32) rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(820) [sender=3.1.1]
The command I have used for syncing my public_html directory was:
rsync --bwlimit=256 --delete -avz -e 'ssh -p 443' --exclude /home/xyz/public_html/wp-content/cache/ /home/ xyz/public_html/ user@[YOUR_IP]:/home/xyz/public_html/
Adding rsync options like –progress –partial can help you to continue sync of your interrupted files.
rsync --progress --partial --bwlimit=256 --delete -avz -e 'ssh -p 443 -o ConnectTimeout=2 -o ServerAliveInterval=2 -ServerAliveCountMax=2' --exclude /home/xyz/public_html/wp-content/cache/ /home/ xyz/public_html/ user@[YOUR_IP]:/home/xyz/public_html/
As you can see I have added couple of ssh option flags as well.
Now in case your connection is interrupted you will see something like this:
wp-content/uploads/2017/04/[YOUR_LARGE_FILE] 17,170,432 19% 259.44kB/s 0:04:25 Received disconnect from [YOUR_IP]: 2: Packet corrupt rsync: [sender] write error: Broken pipe (32) rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(820) [sender=3.1.1]
But if you run again your sync command it will continue interrupted download:
# rsync.sh sending incremental file list sent 259 bytes received 12 bytes 108.40 bytes/sec total size is 49,777,673 speedup is 183,681.45 sending incremental file list wp-content/uploads/2017/04/ wp-content/uploads/2017/04/[YOUR_LARGE_FILE] 21,311,088 24% 256.00kB/s 0:04:13
Although this will not prevent corrupt packet from happening it will at least save you the time and bandwidth not to re-upload from files from the beginning over and over.
I had the same problem recently.
After doing some Google search, I found this issue page https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3925 .
According to Comment 3 I drop -z option from my rsync option (actually, I use rsnapshot) and everything is back to normal !!!
So, maybe you can drop -z option and try again.
Good Luck~ ^_^
Thanks for the info. I will test it.
–bwlimit=4096
solved the issue for me
