------- Comment #1 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-06-18 19:11 MST -------
Rsync sends zeroes in an attempt to get as much of the new data to the receiver
as possible; one could argue that the receiving rsync should take the data from
the same offset in the basis file instead. It also sabotages the post-transfer
MD4 checksum on lines 355-357 of match.c:
/* If we had a read error, send a bad checksum. */
if (buf && buf->status != 0)
file_sum[0]++;
That will cause the receiving rsync to delete the temporary file on line 641 of
receiver.c, leaving the old but valid version of the source file intact. Rsync
will produce a message like this:
WARNING: <file> failed verification -- update discarded (will try again)
So I don't think there's a problem. Wayne, please correct me if I am wrong.
