sync stops with error "unexcpected flag: xxxx" (SOLVED)

hi

we are using "acrosync x64 beta 0.92" to sync a local directory (with a huge amount of files) to a remote directory located on a virtualized (xenserver) linux system (debian) running rsync version 3.0.9 (protocol version 30)

after successfully uploaded about hundret files, the process stops with the error: "unexcpected flag: xxxx"

if we start the job again, the error occurs at a different point (uploading a different file) of the process and with a different error number.

running acrosync with or without administrator privileges makes no difference.

we also have jobs created with a small amount of files - these jobs runs like a charm.

can you please give us an advise how to handle this?

thank you
regards

    Can you try the latest 0.93 builds to see if the problem is still there:

    after rebooting the server we had a successful run of the job (with v0.92).
    seems to be a "client-side" problem?!

    thank you

    Glad that you solved the issue.  To be honest I really had no idea what went wrong.  The low-level data transfer protocol in rsync is very simple -- it sends data one chunk at a time; each chunk starts with a flag and the length, followed by the content.  You will see the "unexpected flag" errors when the chunk boundaries are corrupted.
