[...] That's not the issue. I didn't install that update until later. I remember because I installed it just before I transferred everything to my new hard drive with dd_rescue. Still trying to understand what you are encountering. Here's the summary. /usr/bin/rsync was passing my test suite, then it suddenly started failing. There was no reboot, no system update, no configuration change that would explain this. Here's my svn commit message: This is so weird. At some point tonight I started seeing the rsync/ tarpipe failures that I saw when trying to do my backups. I was trying to trigger these failures intentionally and having no luck, then suddenly - POW. Now I can't get them to stop! I've tried using fresh disk images and reverting to older revisions of the code, but nothing seems to work. I haven't tried rebooting yet, but I probably should. """ For example, you wrote: "I booted from the Tiger install DVD, mounted both my drives, and started my copy, being sure to use the path to the up-to-date rsync on my system drive. The result? My copy was a disaster." What's the OS version on that DVD? You also wrote: "BB tests copying from a volume with ACLs enabled to another volume where they're enabled. However, as I mentioned, I realized that they're *not* enabled on my root volume, so I tried disabling them on my BB source volume. Nothing happened -- the tests still passed. However, it was soon thereafter that they failed (within an hour or so)." Could you try to see which OS version as well as which updates (if any) were installed on your laptop at that time? Ok. As I said, the tests started failing on 4/24. Here's the tail of my software update log: 2007-03-14 12:08:14 -0700: Installed "Mac OS X Update (PowerPC)" (10.4.9) 2007-03-31 21:16:10 -0700: Installed "iTunes" (7.1.1) 2007-04-22 23:43:29 -0700: Installed "Security Update 2007-004 (PowerPC)" (1.0) 2007-05-02 14:06:55 -0700: Installed "QuickTime" (7.1.6) I guess I was somewhat mistaken about the chronology -- I installed the update just before my *first* backup attempt (the one that failed). But you can see there was no update on 4/24. Anyway, other people tend to relate the problem to Security Update 2007-004 (v1.0 as well as v1.1) too. Could you have a look at: <http://lists.apple.com/archives/macos-x-server/2007/May// msg00040.html> and subsequent messages? If it's related to SU2007-4 it's a very strange correlation. I was testing for 2 days after that update before the "change" happened. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
