Thought my troubles were fixed, but files disappeared again and reappeared after a few dozen rsync cycles. I am mapping a Win2K directory to Linux with Samba. That mounted directory is then Rsynced to another Linux box on a schedule (Linux to Linux, because I can't run rsync on the windows machine). For some unknown reason, several thousand files are periodically (after several days) deleted from the remote Linux box. Running Rsync a few dozen times seems to get things back to normal, but causes great stress to myself and my users. I am using the delete option, but these files should not be deleted, because they haven't changed. Files eventually get back in sync. I can't figure out why they are deleted in the first place. Any ideas on what to check?
