Error while backing up w/ RSync on 4.2.12
Backing up from one NAS to another via RSync. Both brand new RN Pro BE's on 4.2.12 - oriignally Factory-defaulted on 4.2.11 w/ ext4 filesystems and dual redundancy. Getting a similar failure as ...
Unfortunately rsync doesn't work for everyone.
That's the problem mdgm.
It's an open source horse-by-committee and it only takes a few minutes
with Google to see that it doesn't work for "everyone".
Hell, other users/customers on this very board are having the same (or similar)
problems with rsync as I am having - as well as many hundreds of people on the
internet - all on 3.0.7 - the latest rsync available.
(There are whispers of a kernel issue - other whispers of an out-of-memory
condition - and yet others of an interaction between certain NIC hardware
and rsync - but nothing proven - and nothing "fixed")
Even other linux-based NAS manufacturers (like QNAP) have the SAME problem
with rsync for SOME users.
Now, if I wanted to debug a linux kernel - I wouldn't have bought a pre-made
business-class NAS.
When you release a product for BUSINESS - it should "just work" for
EVERYONE - and this part of Linux, well, just doesn't work (for everyone).
So I've had to use CIFS/Timestamp backups for now.
Trust me, I wish rsync "just worked". It doesn't.
