[Bug 9877] New: target file deleted in error
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9877
Summary: target file deleted in error
Product: rsync
Version: 3.0.6
Platform: x64
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: core
AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
ReportedBy: jacks at mid.org
QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org
After running rsync, I discovered that a file - libdeb.so - that exists in the
source tree had been deleted in the target tree. The specific command was....
rsync -aivc \
--delete \
--log-file=/home/oracle/logs/refresh_thrd_apps.log \
/mnt/oradb10-bkp20/oracle/src_r12_apps_prd/ \
/d00/oracle/THRD/apps/
/mnt/oradb10-bkp20 is an NFS file system mounted ReadOnly and /d00 is a local
file system.
I have verified that libdeb.so exists in the source tree and I have no evidence
that it was every deleted. (The source tree was created using rsync.)
After discovering that libdeb.so was missing, I reran the rsync command which
copied libdeb.so into the correct location.
I did not notice any error messages while rsync was running. The only unusual
situation was that the /tmp file system had no free space after the original
rsync execution but I cleaned up the /tmp file system before the last rsync
execution.
Is it possible that running out of space on /tmp could have caused the error?
If so, my preference would be for rsync to fail and report the error.

Sadly, there's not enough info here for me try to diagnose what happened to
you, since what you describe is not how rsync works.
