Hi I am seeing from time to time the following error: rsync: rename "/DEST_DIR/SUB_DIR/.A_FILE.AzmlvG" -> "SUB_DIR/.tmp/A_FILE.xml.gz": No such file or directory (2) rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1183) I rsync from a few source machines to a single destination machine, with: /usr/local/bin/rsync-no-vanished \ --bwlimit=512k --recursive --delay-updates --quiet --update \ --include=\"*/\" --include=\"*.gz\" --exclude=\"*\" \ /SOURCE_DIR/ DEST_IP:/DEST_DIR/ The filenames on the 4 source machines are distinct, but they do contain sub directories with the same names. Could it be that while machine A syncs SUB_DIR/fileA, machine B finishes syncing SUB_DIR/fileB and cleans the temporary directory on the destination machine? If so, is there a way to avoid it? Both sources and destination have: rsync version 3.1.0 protocol version 31 rsync-no-vanished is the one provided by rsync's distribution. Regards Vangelis
