rsync - Sep 2005 - Partial files cause: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(584)

Hello,

I am wondering if any of you have any ideas for what I am experiencing.

I use Rsync over a local network to backup files from a laptop to my main PC
which is running the server as a service.  These are both Windows 2000 machines
running Cygwin 1.5.18-1 and Rsync 2.6.6.  It works fine unless I turn on the
partial file option (--partial) and then try to resume an interrupted copy. 
This is a log of what's happening.

opening connection using --server -vvtr --partial . avcopy

rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer (104)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(584)

It definately seems to be a problem when it finds a partial of the file it is
trying to copy in the destination directory. From what I have seen if you have
the --partial option set, if you stop the transfer, the file in the destination
directory is renamed to it's 'proper' name even though it is not
complete. When the partial didn't rename properly I could start the transfer
again without difficulty, otherwise I had to delete the partial file and start
the transfer again.

Once the partial file is in the directory, even if I change the command to not
make use of partial files, rsync still fails with the above error.

I am not using a secure channel and I have tried it without any firewalls
running but this makes no difference. I am running cwRsync 2.03
(http://www.itefix.no) on both the computers. Only the main PC has the server
installed on it running as a service.  I have checked the permissions and the
correct local user has the ability to write to the required directory.

I googled the web and the archive list and didn't find anything that seemed
to relate to it.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Ian

See the "issues and debugging" page of the website for instructions on
how to go about debugging a failure on the remote end of the rsync
connection (e.g. enabling core files to check for a crash, or logging
system calls to see what is failing).
