I know, I use daily to backup 5TB of data, without any problems. > OK, how to reproduce this bug of rsync. > > fsck.vfat -p /dev/sdb1 > > OK - done You say "OK - done" but anyone can type anything. Please do this again, in a script session; i.e. execute the 'script' command in your home directory, which will log all output from your session into a file 'typescript'. At the end, terminate 'script' by exiting the shell. Then send the file 'typescript' as an attachment to this bug report. > rsync --progress -a Documents /media/usb > > - then you can see that rsync DOES copy the files wiht a nice progression. > > - you wait and see... until it finished. > > OK- done. cmd performed. > > ls Documents You apparently forgot to show the cd command; that's why a typescript file is useful, you can't forget any details. > and nothing !! only empty directories created > > wow good job ! Your system must be unique, as I've never seen this happen before. Hopefully the typescript will help to show what's going on. Please include commands such as 'du source' and 'du destination', 'df source' and 'df destination' before and after the rsync command. Also do 'mount' and 'ls -al source destination'.
