rsync dumping core
Last modified: 2023-11-27 20:20:23 UTC
Starting with the latest snapshot before Aug, 15 rsync started dumping core, when trying to backup /boot/efi on my notebook: /usr/bin/rsync --archive --one-file-system --hard-links --acls --xattrs --numeric-ids --delete-excluded --delete-during --filter=dir-merge_/.rsync_filter_backup_client --exclude-from=/var/log/backup/exclude-client.lst --verbose --stats --no-human-readable /boot/efi/ backupsrv:/var/backup/client/boot_efi/ sending incremental file list *** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated Aborted (core dumped) rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [Receiver] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(228) [Receiver=3.2.3] Actual version is openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230822.
Backing up / and /boot works without any problems.
fsck for /boot/efi didn't show any errors to be corrected.
The filter option is causing the problem: --filter=dir-merge_/.rsync_filter_backup_client The same command without this options works without dumping core. It doesn't matter what file name is used her - even using "x" causes a dump.
Even using -F leads to a dump.
this was annoying the hell out of me, so I submitted Jiri's fix to factory.
