rsync - Mar 2008 - untransferred files

Hi All

Some time rsync just return error code 23 that some files are not
transferred. Is there a way to get a list of these files so we can retry
it later time?

For example, we scan the whole file system and N files are not
transferred. Instead of scan the whole file system later again, we can
use files-from which is much faster.

Thanks.

The list of files was output on stderr during the copy.  Rsync will try
them again if you repeat the copy.

Ming, the situation hasn't changed since you asked this question in
January:

Wayne, yes, the FERROR_XFER messages are printed to stderr, but they do
not follow a common pattern, and some (especially in acls.c) don't even
include the name of the affected file, so getting a list of the failed
files is nontrivial.
