Hi,

i have problem with my external harddisk.
I want to store all my data on this external harddisk and while copying the filesystem becomes read-only.

I made backups with rsnapshot
Code:
# rsnapshot hourly
rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes to socket [sender]: Broken pipe (32)

If I see the first error message, you have a broken pipe in rsync.

Can you test each rsync manually ?

What does dmesg say when this error occurs? Assuming your setup used to work before, I'm guess your hard disk is dying -- I had the same error when mine was.
