I'm trying to send some files with around 2GB to my home server running Fedora 36. On my Laptop, I have Pop OS! 22.04. Both are directly connected to my router via Ethernet. Sadly, I'm getting errors which I cannot figure out how I get them fixed. I know that there are many posts out there with similar issues, but I haven't found a solution that works for me.

I tried running rsync, which results in this:

data.zip
    413,040,640  15%   98.50MB/s    0:00:22  client_loop: send disconnect: Broken pipe

rsync: [sender] write error: Broken pipe (32)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at io.c(823) [sender=3.2.3]

Then I tried scp which gave me this:

client_loop: send disconnect: Broken pipe
lost connection

And rclone returns this and trying it again a bunch of times:

2022-09-17 15:44:57 ERROR : sftp://user@192.168.1.200:22/: Discarding closed SSH connection: read tcp 192.168.1.17:51790->192.168.1.200:22: read: connection reset by peer
2022-09-17 15:44:57 ERROR : data.zip: Failed to copy: Update ReadFrom failed: connection lost

In general, I checked dmesg and journalctl without finding something that looked helpful to me. Here are things I already tried:

  • Limiting transfer speed
  • Checking if enough space is available (yes, there is more than 150GiB free)
  • Setting "ServerAliveInterval" and "ServerAliveCountMax"
  • Increasing timeout (the transfer usually fails in a few seconds, so does this even matter?)
  • zipping/creating tar and transfer that
  • using rsync 3.2.3 on both machines
  • writing on another drive that is on my server
  • running "dmesg | grep rsync" to see if something shows up. It returns nothing for me)
  • Forcing a memory purge with echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
  • Also re-downloaded, flashed and re-installed Fedora 36.

Now you might think that there might be an issue with my laptop. But the odd thing is that I can transfer data without issue to/from a Pi4 running Raspberry Pi OS.

Would be awesome if somebody has any further ideas :)

Edit: Here is some information about my systems.

Home Server: neofetch output of my home server

Laptop: neofetch output of my laptop

Edit 2: Tried the transfer on a separate network (new router) with only the media server and my laptop connected (no WAN access). Without any duplicated IP, Hostname or MAC address assignments it won't work either

After @Hastur suggested to check transferring from and to my server from my laptop and Pi4 I found something. I tumbled accross the journalctl _COMM=sshd command for showing the sshd log, and there I saw the line ssh_dispatch_run_fatal: Connection from user user 192.168.1.XXX port XXX: message authentication code incorrect each time the transmission failed. Either I just missed it, or it didn't show up in the log file I looked at.

Anyway… I searched how to fix that issue now. After trying and googling a bunch, I came across this page: https://p5r.uk/blog/2014/ssh-corrupted-mac-on-input.html which coincidentally fixed my issue. I ran ethtool -K eth0 tx off rx off on my server and started a new transfer. Suddenly everything went through and after transferring around 50GiB it didn't throw that error again.

I'm guessing it works now.
