rsync - Dec 2024 - rsync: [sender] read errors mapping "file" : Input/output error (5)

Hello.

Everytime I try to copy a file from one USB disk to another one (does not
matter which one),I get this kind of error :

Can I know why ? And there is a parameter that I can use to fix that error
? "--ignore-existing" is a parameter that I've got from here :


How to interpret and fix a Input/output error in Linux?
<https://superuser.com/questions/676649/how-to-interpret-and-fix-a-input-output-error-in-linux>


but it didn't work. From the post it's not sure how to fix the error.

Input/output error (5) usually indicates some hardware problem, not
related to the application.

As it's just a single file you're trying to copy, why not use cp?
Although I expect that cp will also throw an IO error at some point.

You could use --inplace --append --partial with rsync and repeat the
command until it finally completes.
