Alexander,
No problem on the typo (I spelled it wrong in my first email), and
thanks for the additional information.
I don't think it is working the way I expected, so if you have any other
hints it would be great.
What I expected:
I had already downloaded the iso, but the md5sum was wrong. I was
hoping rsync could find the bad parts and fix them. I've run it about 4
times so far -- the first two times it came back with a message
something like (I ran it without any options):
wrote 105 bytes read 85 bytes 20.00 bytes/sec
total size is 684400640 speedup is 3602108.63
And I thought, this is great, it found the problem and fixed it. But,
the md5sum was still wrong, and had not changed.
Then I ran it with -avz options. This time I got two additional lines,
followed by two lines very much like the previous two, and still the
md5sum has not changed:
receiving file list ... done
chown mandrakefreq-i586-2001-0316.iso : Operation not permitted
wrote 105 bytes read 85 bytes 20.00 bytes/sec
total size is 684400640 speedup is 3602108.63
Finally, I just tried it again with --partial and --verbose, and got two
lines like my first result, still no change in the iso.
I originaly downloaded the iso with ncftp, if that means anything.
Thanks,
Randy Kramer
PS: I was going to send this to expert (or maybe I should try newbie),
but I thought you might have the additional insight I need.
