The file is just new, and isn't on the server...
Not really. The file was created using the metadata of the source so when it comes time to fix the metadata after the transfer there is no need to change it. If on the other hand only the metadata had changed it wouldn't be uptodate. -vv is for debugging. Debugging messages are often cryptic and may sometimes require reading of the source code to make any sense. > Today the rsync run again, the backup directory shows that there where no > file changed. > The Internet statistics for that connection shows: IN 14M, OUT > 133M!

There is one other bit of data the server would be sending to the client that i forgot to mention and that is all those diagnostic messages you asked for. > The follwing error showed up today in the logfile: > > Received disconnect from IP: 2: fork failed: Resource temporarily > unavailable^M > rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) > rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150) > _exit_cleanup(code=12, file=io.c, line=150): about to call exit(12) You have run out of a system resource on the server. I'd suggest you look in the system logs. -- ________________________________________________________________ J.W.
