I had a several system crashes (due to boken hardware) but it resulted of a serious problem: rsync-ed files had a new date/size but the old content. I think it was because the machine has lost all data from in-memory file bufes before sync-ing it to HDD-s. Anyway, subsequent passes of rsync skipped those files thinking they-re ok.
What do you think about a new feature to rsync: a "--sync" command line switch that will force rsync to call sync() after every file (or maybe chunk) is transferred? Do you think this can be usefull for all?
