[gentoo-user] rsync problem with local rsync server

[waltdnes]

  Trying to be "kinder and gentler" to the Gentoo mirrors, I set up my
"hot backup machine" to "emerge --rsync" from my main machine.  I
followed the instructions in
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Local_Rsync_Mirror#Official_Gentoo_Linux_rsync_Mirrors_Policy_and_Guide

main machine is "d530" 192.168.123.250
hot backup   is "d531" 192.168.123.251

  So I
  - emerge --synce on my main machine (d530)
  - ssh into d531
  - su to root
  - run "emerge --sync"

  The client machine (d531) sees the following error 3 times and gives up...

============================================================
>>> Starting retry 3 of 3 with rsync://192.168.123.250
>>> Checking server timestamp ...
@ERROR: Unknown module 'metadata'
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1386) [receiver=2.6.9]
>>> Exceeded PORTAGE_RSYNC_RETRIES: 3
============================================================

  The host machine says the following in /var/log/messages
The "connect" and "unknown module" messages are repeated 3 times

============================================================
Jul  4 20:43:01 d530 rsyncd[21988]: rsyncd version 3.0.2 starting, listening on port 873
Jul  4 20:46:13 d530 rsyncd[22028]: connect from d531.waltdnes.org (192.168.123.251)
Jul  4 20:46:13 d530 rsyncd[22028]: unknown module 'metadata' tried from d531.waltdnes.org (192.168.123.251)
============================================================

  I'm running 32-bit i686 on an Intel Core2 duo on a pair of Dell d530
desktops.

It seems you have rsync://<yourhost>/ instead of
rsync://<yourhost>/gentoo-portage/ on your make.conf
Also, check /etc/rsync.conf on your server to ensure that
gentoo-portage module listed there.

  Thank you very much.  That was the exact mistake I made.  It's working
properly now after I corrected it.
