    backup local desktop disk to unraid btrfs formatted disk with rsync (unraid pro 6.11.5).

     

    Rsync stopped with following error:

    2023/05/19 06:28:55 [41376] rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (2605909 bytes received so far) [sender]
    2023/05/19 06:28:55 [41376] rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(226) [sender=3.1.3]

     

    At the time of the crash, a DMS (Devonthink) is being backed up.

     

    An analysis shows that there are various files on the (unraid) target disk in the corresponding directory with file size = zero.

    What all these files additionally have in common is that the name contain the three special characters "\|\" (without the quotes).

     

    Example name of a file stored on the btrfs-disk (anonymized):

    Quote

    2015 xxxxx\ \|\ Xxxxx\ \|\ Xxxxxxxxx\ \|\ Xx\ Xx\ 58\ \|\ Xxxxxxx,\ 01.09.15\ 10-00.eml

     

    Could this be the reason that Unraid is sending an (io) error to rsync ?
