SSH: Connection Reset by Peer – Server Fault
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/11/22
One occasion I had SSH throw a Connection Reset by Peer on my when was the SD-card of a Raspberry Pi started failing and the ext4 filesystem got mounted in read-only mode.
Then sshd was still listening on port 22, but since it could not write to disk any more, it threw a Connection Reset by Peer to the client.
It was on OpenSuSE Tumbleweed, but would failed just as well using Raspbian.
Lessons learned:
- IoT hardware will fail.
ext4breaks when the hardware breaks.
