rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c
I am using rsync to backup a machine with a large number of files, and I am getting this error. It would be helpful to know which files this is occuring with, to diagnose the problem. Is there a configuration option to rsync (that I may have missed) that will reveal this info. Alternatively, is there a source code patch that I could apply to rsync in order to find out? Thanks for any help Jon

rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c
Follow up to my own posting. I was running rsync with -v and rsync was having problems chowning (not transferring) files. I realise now that the error message applied to this problem. I found the error message a little confusing, as I was trying to track down the non-transferred files, while knowing all along about the chowning problem. Jon
