> Then, does it mean that you run rsync when your system is very idle? Yes. The system is a very idle one in general. It's just a dumb ppp router. I looked at the output of lsof and couldn't see other processes writing something, during the rsync or the test. > Cyanrigger: > > However after this, when the stress-test is over the errors are gone > > (like it was on ext3): > > I have tried the similar test to yours on my linux-2.6.31. > The result has no errors. I see. Is suppose that you have tested with a box with a filled root directory and a working command environment and normal processes running. And I suppose that rsync is really copying something. > I may need to test linux-2.6.36.1 (as you did). It will be next week. I also tried it before on a 2.6.35.4 . > /dev/ram1 /dev/shm/ro ext3 ro,relatime,errors=continue,data=writeback > 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm/rw tmpfs rw,dirsync,relatime 0 0 I tried with the same mount options you used here - but no change... The next I will try is to move every single file (or a group) rsync would have copied, per hand. And after every transfer I will fsck.
