I've implemented a backups system and have come across a problem with delete-during and I/O errors.
Currently I use a wrapper round rsync to create a LVM snapshot and rsync the snapshot, this works except that when the snapshot threshhold is exceeded LVM removes the snapshop, the mount fails and I/O errors happen. This is ok, except with delete-during I'm getting instances of rsync thinking the files are deleted (though it does know I/O errors are happening and reports them), and thus deleting them on the receiver side. This is not good. I've resorted to delete-after (which happily refuses to delete as I/O errors have taken place), but does anyone have any clues for fixing this with delete-during ? I'm using 3.0.8, but I can't see anything relevant in the changes for 3.0.9. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
