The problem would have most likely caused the protocol to abort. If you're using 2.6.3, it should not have caused a corrupted destination file unless you had --partial enabled (which tells rsync to keep a corrupted file). However, older rsync versions used to save the failed-to-verify file in place of the destination file, so I suppose there's a chance that rsync could have lived long enough to tell the receiver to create a file with some bogus data and then died before the resend fixed it. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
