OK... can you reproduce the problem by copying some of the source files to a different place on the destination filesystem, or on a different filesystem? What if you use cp instead of rsync? Have you run fsck on the source and destination filesystems? > This maybe due fuzzy option but append-verify should (?) confirm that > the already existing data matches the appended one (?). Yes, when a file transfer is performed. If the destination already has a file that passes the quick check with the source file, no file transfer is performed. In that case, consider --ignore-times to disable the quick check. -- Matt -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
