definite data corruption in 2.5.0 with -z option
I just confirmed that data corruption can occasionally occur with
rsync 2.5.0 when the -z option is used. My command was the following:
rsync -vaz --partial --block-size=65536 --checksum remote:/path/ /localdir
The files consisted of a year's worth of email (262MB), broken into
one file for each day.
At least this doesn't seem to occur silently; I get the message
"ERROR: file corruption in foo. File changed during transfer?".
This happened for 5 files out of 358 total.
Repeated rsyncs yield the same message for the same files, and manual
md5s...
