Hello, when I do: /opt/rsync/bin/rsync /etc/hosts targethost::bkp/
I get: cannot create .hosts.b0WX1x : File exists I check the targethost and I get empty file .hosts.b0WX1x When trying with other targethost-s it works, but on this one it doesn't. On the other targethosts I have exactly the same LinuX distribution, permissions and users than on the problem targethost. I have exactly the same configuration than on the other machines, except on probelm targethost I have SCSI hard disk. When i strace the rsync --deamon i get: 4697 open(".hosts.b0WX1x", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|0x8000, 0600) = 4 4697 open(".hosts.b0WX1x", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|0x8000, 0600) = -1 EEXIST (File exists) It seems like it opens the file ReadWrite and then tries to open it readonly. I don't know why. It bangs then.
