Hello, I have a problem with rsync and it looks like this way. I use this command to sync to folders. It's my home directory on my Mac Book P. and a Samba share on an Debian Linux Server. rsync -vur --delete /Users/tom/ /Volumes/<share on SambaServer>/backup/tom/ I use this command a long time and with my local HD and an USB connected external HD runs perfectly. Now I put my external USB HD on my Debian Server and shared the whole partiton with Samba. When I sync the folders it sync all files and folders. (see details) --- sent 17661737425 bytes received 198860 bytes 6709187.57 bytes/sec total size is 67704041466 speedup is 3.83 rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at /SourceCache/rsync/rsync-31/rsync/main.c(717) --- When I sync again these folders all files will be transfered, without all that changes. Some cache folders are changed, but thats all. What is this the problem? One thing additional, when I sync two smaler folder on my local to the Samba share, everything works fine! I have no Idea what happens and what is the error # 23. I heared it is not that important.
