"WARNING: failed verification -- update retained (will try again)" message
Hi there! On a daily backup script, I am getting a lot of these messages: WARNING: <filename> -- update retained (will try again). I've tried googling, but i can't figure out what these messages exactly mean and how i can solve them. Any hint? Thank you Gabriele -- GPG Key Fingerprint: DAD1 E3E3 C3E9 36FB C570 F405 9B5F 7108 A1D0 2FFF

Usually it means that the file changed while rsync was running. But it can also mean that a hardware problem (usually RAM) is causing the hashing to return bogus results.

That's weird because because i am now getting the same error on two machines, so i would exclude the RAM problem. Anyway, does the "will try again" mean this message is harmless unless getting a subsequent "will not try again" error message? If yes, is there a way to squelch it?
