Hi, I notice that rsync dies at the same point every time. The output from the -i flag looks garbled: >f.sT...... eepercocolc0a62fbfeed7a42a3d9c5e2dcecef40d0 rsync: symlink "/home/y/var/udbs/eeperco1/<file_name_obscured>" -> "/ ydb/36/7b/73/<file_name_obscured>" failed: No such file or directory (2) There is no file on the source called 'eepercocolc0a62fbfeed7a42a3d9c5e2dcecef40d0', and there is no path named /home/y/var/udbs/eeperco1/ although the filename itself is does exist. It is a symlink that refers to /ydb/36/7b/73/ <file_name_obscured>. The command I ran: rsync -ai --no-t --block-size=8192 --stats rsync://localhost:2019/ydb/ 13 /home/y/var/udbs/ rsync version 3.0.5 protocol version 30 -- Joseph (Beau) Rothrock rothrock@yahoo-inc.com
