rsync not working on TrueNAS core 12 - works on FreeNAS-11.3-U5

[mudflap]

Long time user of freenas here. First time having to post for information.
Can not seem to get rsync to work on TrueNAS core 12. This is from any *nix box to TrueNAS using rsync named module.
I have 2 FreeNAS-11.3-U5 machines running fine. I set up a new FreeNAS-11.3-U5. Confirmed everything hardware wise worked. Set everything up like the other 2 boxes. I then did the upgrade to TrueNAS core. I tried to use rsync from Ubuntu 18.04, Linux Mint, and FreeBSD 12. I get the same error of:

Code:

rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(235) [sender=3.1.2]

I triple checked all settings were the same between FreeNAS and TrueNAS.
I reinstalled from scratch FreeNAS-11.3-U5 onto it and rsync works fine. Is this a bug I need to file or did something change that I am unaware of?
rsync command that works on FreeNAS and not on TrueNAS:

Code:

rsync -az --no-g --no-perms --omit-dir-times -O --exclude-from '/home/XXXX/rsync_excludeme.txt' / nas003.XXXXXX.XXX::vhost004

Machine in question (even though I dodn't think it matters)
Dell r720
H310 mini (IT mode)
7 SAS drives in raidz2

I've had success with rsync modules on TrueNAS 12.0, using the explicit rsync: syntax with a user specifier, like this (for module 'systems' on TrueNAS 12.0 server 'BACON'):

Code:

rsync ${R_OPTIONS} ${R_EXCLUDE} ${R_SRC} rsync://root@bacon/systems

i'm trying to Rsync over SSH from Truenas to Synology.
can i run the command from Truenas shell ? i got an error command not found.

Depending on your environment you might have to use /usr/local/bin/rsync.

/usr/local/bin/rsync.

thanks for your tip. i'm in truenas shell doing:

$ rsync --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync -avzx /rsync_test truenazz@192.168.3.119:/volume1/NetBackup/truenascube

and

$ rsync --rsync-path=/usr/bin/rsync -avzx /rsync_test truenazz@192.168.3.119:/volume1/NetBackup/truenascube

both cases giving command not found.

--rsync-path is for the path to the rsync binary on the remote system. Probably your Synology. Try not to specify that at all, first. And replace the initial rsync with /usr/local/bin/rsync as I said.

i have followed your suggestion as below:

$ /usr/local/bin/rsync -avzx /rsync_test truenazz@192.168.3.119:/volume1/NetBackup/truenascube

$ /usr/bin/rsync -avzx /rsync_test truenazz@192.168.3.119:/volume1/NetBackup/truenascube

same error.

Why are you typing a $ at the beginning of that command line? The shell is complaining that it cannot find the "$" command - which is perfectly correct.

That's great.. coming from windows i start liking those things a lot.
this command works for me:

rsync -avzx /mnt/MirrorPool/rsync_test truenazz@192.168.3.119:/volume1/NetBackup

is there any way to automate it with cron ? if i run manually through shell, it ask for a password and then is executing.

To avoid having to enter a password, you will need to set up SSH key authentication for the truenazz user account on your Synology. Here is a pretty good tutorial:

Synology as a FreeNAS backup

For a little while I’d been looking for a secondary NAS of some sort, preferably cheap, to act as a backup for my FreeNAS Server.
