rsync - Aug 2008 - DO NOT REPLY [Bug 5680] New: triggering io.c:188: got_flist_entry_status: Assertion

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5680

           Summary: triggering io.c:188: got_flist_entry_status: Assertion
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.3
          Platform: x64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned@samba.org
        ReportedBy: partain@dcs.gla.ac.uk
         QAContact: rsync-qa@samba.org


Precisely:
io.c:188: got_flist_entry_status: Assertion `flist != ((void *)0)' failed.

A long-standing rsync-y cronjob has started failing the last few days.  Fedora9
rsync (3.0.3); I got a similar error w/ 3.0.2.  2.6.9 does the same job fine.

A script that tidies up yyyy-mm-dd backup dirs runs (e.g.):

/usr/bin/rsync   -H --archive --delete --exclude='*.msf'
--exclude=.cache
--exclude=.svn --exclude=Trash --exclude=WebStatistics.txt
--exclude=WebStatistics.txt,v --exclude=cyrus.cache --exclude=cyrus.index
--exclude=cyrus.squat --exclude=spam-virii --exclude=spam05-08
--exclude=spam09-15 --exclude=spam16plus --exclude=willow-house-home-dir
--delete-excluded --compare-dest=../2008-08-05 --compare-dest=../2008-08-06
--compare-dest=../2008-08-07 --compare-dest=../2008-08-08 2008-08-04/

Created an attachment (id=3463)
 --> (https://bugzilla.samba.org/attachment.cgi?id=3463&action=view)
Extra debugging in place of the cited assert

This replaces the assert with some info on the ndx value and what values are
currently "live".

I'd like to know what the output is with the extra-debugging patch applied
(as
it will tell us if the ndx value is corrupt or if something weird is going on).

It would also be good to give 3.0.4pre2 a try and see if the error recurs.  In
either case, adding some extra -v options to get debug info may help to narrow
down what rsync is doing at the time.  Feel free to email me debug data if you
don't want to attach it to this bug.

If you have more info, feel free to supply it.  In the meantime, I'm closing
this.
