Hello, This trouble doesn't occurs each backup. While rsync transfert data from a laptop to a server, it stop to backup the currently laptop and goes through the backup notebook list. The next laptop isn't backing up, rsync creates only the tree for the first level. All of this backup exiting with this error : _exit_cleanup(code=13, file=log.c, line=237): entered _exit_cleanup(code=13, file=log.c, line=237): about to call exit(13) There is no other error message, I can't fix where the problem comes from. I checked what the code 13 means, I've just found that : Errors with program diagnostics Any idea ? Thanks
From the output, it looks like rsync encountered some sort of error and then aborted because it was unable to print the error message to stderr. Perhaps stderr got closed somehow. What is the full command line of the rsync run that is failing? And how is rsync being invoked? If it's from a script, please post the script.
Thanks for your answer. I use the crontab which launch the script bellow : #!/bin/bash backup_conf=backup_notebook.conf SMBLOGIN=administrateur SMBPWD=***** MOUNTDIR="/tmp/smbmnt" daytosave=7 oneweekago=`date -d "-$daytosave day" +%F` deltaday=1 # if yesterday was sunday, computer was halted, so use friday's save yesterday=`date -d '-1 day' +%w` if [ $yesterday -eq 0 ] then deltaday=3 fi lastday=`date -d "-$deltaday day" +%F` today=`date +%F` echo "Begin `date`" if [ ! -d $MOUNTDIR ] then mkdir $MOUNTDIR fi umount $MOUNTDIR #IFS="\n" IFS=$'\012' for line in `grep -v "#" $backup_conf` do BWS=`echo $line | cut -f1 -d":"` BDISK=`echo $line | cut -f2 -d":"` BDIR=`echo $line | cut -f3 -d":"` echo "Mount $BWS/$BDISK" mount -t cifs -o username=$SMBLOGIN,password=$SMBPWD,workgroup=$BWS,ro //$BWS/$BDISK $MOUNTDIR if [ $? -eq 0 ] then BACKUP_HOME="/data/backup/workstations/$BWS" OPTS="-av --force --ignore-errors --delete --numeric-ids --link-dest $BACKUP_HOME/$lastday " if [ ! -d $BACKUP_HOME ] then echo "Create dir $BACKUP_HOME" mkdir -p $BACKUP_HOME fi echo "Delete old save of $BWS ($BACKUP_HOME/$oneweekago)" rm -rf $BACKUP_HOME/$oneweekago echo "Snapshot of $BWS : $BDIR in $BACKUP_HOME/$today" echo "rsync $OPTS $MOUNTDIR/$BDIR $BACKUP_HOME/$today" rsync -av --force --delete --ignore-errors --numeric-ids --link-dest $BACKUP_HOME/$lastday "$MOUNTDIR/$BDIR" $BACKUP_HOME/$today >> /var/log/backup/backup.$BWS.log sleep 5 echo "Unmount $BWS/$BDISK" umount $MOUNTDIR else echo "$today : $BWS not accessible" >> notebook_failed.log fi done echo "End `date`" Here there is no debug option, however even I set -vvv as I said there is no other errors. It seems to abort such as a time out or an unsychronization. This backup occurs while the lunchtime, employees follow to work or use their laptops. I don't think that this problem is due to laptops are working. There is another backup of the workstations while the night, there is no problem with this one. Thanks for your help (sorry for my english)
you may add 2>>/var/log/backup/backup.$BWS.log.err to your rsync line in that script to get the stderr redirected to backup.$BWS.log.err if there is something wrong with the stderr, this may fix it or you should at least be able to see appropriate error messages. mind that stderr in cron is typically redirected to be sent via email
