The read errors were in the RStmp files that is supposed to be the
uncompressed copy of a large compressed file so rsync can seek around
looking for a match. I wonder if there could be a file (huge
database, mailbox,etc.) that compresses to a point that even with the
safety factor of backups not starting at 95% full, the uncompressed
copy won't fit. Or maybe a sparse dbm type file where the original
doesn't allocate the space the length would indicate.
