I am running Debian 13. rsync was broken a few weeks ago (in May). The symptom is error messages 'Invalid argument (22)' when trying to read files. (The 22 is the errno value). See: https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/issues/897 Note the workaround commented by ovalhub: I was able to find a workaround for this bug with a rsyncd.conf change. As explained above and in #922, the issue is triggered when a module has path = /. With use chroot = yes, you can set path = //.// for the same / result. I was then able to rsync / as desired. I use rsync for backups, this normally runs silently overnight. I did not see the huge number of error messages as rsync also hung and the script did not end and thus send me email. I think that this has now been fixed but has not appeared in Debian, yet. I implemented the workaround y/day. Regards
