if your filesystem switches to read-only, you have a serious problem
with your system/storage, not with rsync.
rsync (or the workload) is simply triggering the problem.
Thanks for the response . .
Hmm . . but the drive that goes read-only is being read FROM not TO . .
it is hard to see how that should be an issue?
The backstory is that a relatively recent internal 8TB Seagate Barracuda
had its 7.2TB sda5 (home) partition corrupted - which itself was
suspicious but not impossible of course - so I had to switch temporarily
to an external USB 4TB drive (which was a backup drive and was already
up-to-date) for /home. So now this exercise is rsyncing back to a NEW
internal 8TB Seagate Barracuda (sda5 again) . .
If you are correct about rsync simply triggering an existing problem on
the 4TB USB drive, would that problem going to be recognised by a fsck
(ext4)? I will check this out after I switch over to the new internal
sda5 for /home.
Thanks,
Phil.

People,
When I did:
rsync -av /home/ /mntb5/ # about 4TB
I got errors like:
'rsync [sender] expand file_list pointer array to xxx bytes, "did
move"'
with rsync hanging - after breakout on /home for writing I then get:
"Read-only file system"
So after unmounting and remounting /home I did:
cd /home
find /home/ -type d | sort > ./home_dirs_sorted.txt
delete first line "/home/" of ./home_dirs_sorted.txt then:
while read dir ; do echo $dir ; rsync -lptgod "$dir" /mntb5/"$dir" ;
done < ./home_dirs_sorted.txt
and:
while read dir ; do echo $dir ; rsync -lptgoD "$dir"/\.[a-zA-Z0-9]*
/mntb5/"$dir"/ ; done < ./home_dirs_sorted.txt
and finally with no problems:
rsync -av --exclude-from=/usr/local/bin/nfb_caches.txt /home/
/mntb5/
If there was a more sensible / efficient way of getting this done I
would like to know about it!
Thanks,
Phil.
