Troubleshooting Info

While working with an R Dev Container, you may encounter some known errors. Here are a few common ones:

1. Error: Rsync Connection Limit Reached, Preventing New Connections

   Description : When attempting to use rsync, you may encounter the following error message:

   $TOP_SRCDIR/tools/rsync-recommended @ERROR: max connections (59) reached -- try again later rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1863) [Receiver=3.2.7] *** rsync failed to update Recommended files ***
   

   Cause : This error occurs because the rsync server has reached its maximum allowed number of simultaneous connections, which is set to 59. As a result, new connection attempts are rejected until some of the existing connections are closed.

   Solutions : 1. Retry After Some Time : Wait for a few minutes and try running the rsync command again. The number of active connections may decrease, allowing you to connect. 2. Restart Codespace : Sometimes, simply restarting your Codespace can resolve temporary connection issues. Try restarting your Codespace and then attempt the rsync command again.
