Raspberry Pi OS • Re: RPi5 doesn't like gzip?

It's done it on all of my Pi's and most of the recent releases of RPiOS (e.g. bookworm, trixie, etc). That's why I didn't specify. But since you asked, it's a Model 5, which I stated before. It's the official RPiOS, latest release. Here's a few bits of information:

Code:

uname -a>> Linux riddler 6.12.62+rpt-rpi-2712 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.12.62-1+rpt1 (2025-12-18) aarch64 GNU/Linuxcat /etc/os-release>> PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie)">> NAME="Debian GNU/Linux">> VERSION_ID="13">> VERSION="13 (trixie)">> VERSION_CODENAME=trixie>> DEBIAN_VERSION_FULL=13.3>> ID=debian>> HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/">> SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support">> BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"
I've encountered this issue on both the Desktop and the command line. I have another *nix system (not RPiOS) that I occasionally rsync backups to. On the other system I use rsync and ssh into the Pi. Then I pull down the data from the Pi onto a different computer. If I disable gzip, all goes well, if I don't bad things happen. As for Desktop, I would normally mount rclone and transfer files to the mounted filesystem. If I disable gzip for rclone, all goes well, if I don't bad things happen.

It took me a few days to make the connection as why rclone kept failing. I ran across some reference to gzip in some far off place in the Internet. I had a flashback to rsync failing due to gzip (on bookworm), so I decided to disable gzip for rclone (on trixie).

As long as gzip is disabled for any transfers or mounts, rsync or rclone, the transfers will succeed. And I don't know why.

As for overclocking, I've never needed to do that, nor do I know how to do that. I haven't made any modifications to the Pi in any way. I install very little on my Pi's, as is my needs are very simple.

I've had endless issues with the Pi and Trixie and quite frankly I'm frustrated. Sorry if I sound a little rough.
