rsync - Jun 2019 - "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

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?

Thank you
