The man page for rsync has many options to increase how verbose it is. There are many options for info and debug messages. For example, when I use -vvv or -vv, it seems to fail on a file with a long user name in the owner (and the UIDs are different between the sending and receiving systems). Note: The --debug=FLIST4 does not behave the same as --debug=FLIST,FLIST,FLIST,FLIST nor as --debug=FLIST --debug=FLIST --debug=FLIST --debug=FLIST
I am currently looking at rsync options:
-n -a --info=ALL4 --debug=ALL4
-n -av --debug=FLIST4
-n -a --debug=FLIST4
-n -a --numeric-ids --debug=FLIST4
When running the rsync command from the sending server, adding the "--numeric-ids" option seems to change the end of the output from:
recv_file_list done
[receiver] receiving flist for dir 498
ERROR: out of memory in flist_expand [receiver]
rsync error: error allocating core memory buffers (code 22) at util2.c(105) [receiver=3.1.3]
to:
recv_file_list done
[receiver] receiving flist for dir 502
ERROR: out of memory in flist_expand [receiver]
rsync error: error allocating core memory buffers (code 22) at util2.c(105) [receiver=3.1.3]
When running the rsync command from the receiving server, adding the "--numeric-ids" option seems to change the end of the output from:
recv_file_list done
[generator] receiving flist for dir 378
rsync: [generator] write error: Broken pipe (32)
to:
rsync: [receiver] write error: Broken pipe (32)
and it does not display the ksh93 shell prompt until I press Enter.
I hesitate to put much more detail, such as hostnames, usernames, uids, gids, and other login credentials, in a public forum.
