Hello Again

The circumstance where this happens is now known, it is when requests to the shared in files returns "permission denied" from the file server...

Hmmmm...... Any ideas on how to avoid "permission denied" files ?

Would delete-delayed do the trick, do you think ?

Thanks in advance

Hello All

I have a rather curious problem. I rsync from a fileserver shared in via cifs. This connection sometimes fails (don't worry, that is not the question I have).
I am not at all sure where it goes wrong, but in the end the result is that rsync thinks certain files has disappeared. It could for instance go wrong in the cifs client, but also in rsync when trying to read the remote file (I am not using --ignore-errors) if no proper read checking is in place (I do not think that this is the case but I would mention it anyway).
My immediate problem is that rsync proceeds happily and deletes any vanished files in the end (--delete-after).
rsync stops with exit code 24, but by then the damage is already done (files deleted) .

The question is: Is there a way to avoid the deletion when vanished files are detected? That would be "no deletion at all" or just "no deleting of vanished files".

Best regards
