I have been running rsync for about 2 weeks now and I will occasionally
recieve the following errors:
mknod ./{filename} : Invalid argument
mknod ./{filename} : Invalid argument
mknod ./{filename} : Invalid argument
mknod ./{filename} : Invalid argument
mknod ./{filename} : Invalid argument
wrote 16 bytes  read 336751 bytes  131.52 bytes/sec
total size is 33812275937  speedup is 100402.58
rsync error: partial transfer (code 23) at main.c(925)

My /var/log/messages adds the following entry:
{date/time} {comp-name} :sshd[1716]: fatal: msg_send: write

I'm running:Athlon 1800+, 1GB-RAM, FreeBSD 4.6

Perhaps someone can  give me some insight? I would be much appreciative.
