Description Nathan M 2016-08-08 16:27:42 UTC

Install phase of www-servers/apache-2.4.23 fails due to rsync error. This has been occurring for me for a while; the last version of Apache I was able to build/install was apache-2.4.16. rsync version is net-misc/rsync-3.1.2.

This is occuring on both my sparc boxes, a V210 and an Ultra 10.


rsync: [sender] write error: Broken pipe (32)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at io.c(820) [sender=3.1.2]
Makefile:253: recipe for target 'install-man' failed

Isn't this rather a problem with rsync? Does rsync work if you call it manually?

Yes, it's a problem in rsync or the kernel. It just happens that apache decided to use rsync and now cannot be installed anymore.

There is a kernel bug that is causing rsync/ssh/ssl to fail on a local filesystem. This has been fixed upstream and we are currently waiting for the patch to be backported to stable.

        sufficient.  From Nitin Gupta.
    
     4) Mask out extraneous bits from TSB_TAG_ACCESS register, we only want
        the address bits.

I updated my kernel to 4.7.0, then I was able to emerge apache successfully.

Comment 9 Nathan M 2016-08-10 23:10:12 UTC

I can confirm the rsync failure does not occur using a 4.7.0 kernel from gentoo-sources.
