Hello. Hope to write to the right address, if not, please let me know.
I am the sysman of a LAN, an intranet of 20 computers. I need to do a full 3.5G backup of each hard disk so I chose to use netpipes + dd. A tipical command is (on the server): faucet 3000 -out ./send /dev/hda1 where send is a script as: 'dd if=$1 | gzip' and the companion command on the client: hose 192.168.1.1 3000 -in ./receive /dev/hda1 First I used my 2.0.35 (a Red Hat 5.1 distribution upgraded to 2.0.35) modular kernel. Then I changed to Slakware (the installation disks - net.i again a 2.0.35) but I had the same problem. Now we despereatly need things working on so we'll try a 2.0.28 (the kernel we used one year ago), but we'll prefer to fix this bug.
Unfortunately I sadly discovered that sometimes (I don't know if per computer or only casual) there are problems, here they are (I report only 4 incidents with date & time, I also tried to decodify some information to correct the bug):
