In the middle of a large rsync (rsync -a --delete -v /from_dir target_host:/to_dir >log) I'm getting messages like... opendir(Integrated_RFSW_Subsystems/temp_1553): Not enough space What is rsync trying to tell me... disk full, virtual memory, ?? There should be enough space on the target volume to accomodate the updates if they happen file-by-file. Does rsync perhaps save _all_ the updated files until the run completes ?
