Wierd problems with rsync

[lukek]

Hi,
I have managed to generate some weird errors over the last few years playing
with *nix type systems but this one takes the cake.

Whilst rsync'ing a directory I got the following error twice in a row

Disconnecting: Corrupted MAC on input.
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (426487689 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (182042 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165)

Does anyone have any ideas ?

-bash-2.05b$ uname -r
4.8-RELEASE

-bash-2.05b$ rsync -v
rsync  version 2.5.6  protocol version 26

 Any pointers are really appreciated, This machine is a file server that has
sucessfully crashed four times in the last week with hardware issues and
just when I thought I had that beat I get this lot.

Regards,
