Currently, a file transfer can use only basis file: the old destination file, the file in the partial dir, or an alternate basis from somewhere. This makes it difficult to complete the delta-transfer of a large file if rsync keeps getting interrupted and has to be restarted. If rsync transfers some literal data (setting cleanup_got_literal) and is then interrupted, the partial file will be kept, and the next run will not have the benefit of the later data in the old destination file as basis data. At a minimum, rsync should use both the old destination file and the partial file as basis data. In some circumstances it might be beneficial to keep multiple partial files rather than replacing the previous one, but I'm not sure whether this is common enough to be worth implementing. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.
