As you might have guessed, that error is coming from the filesystem and is not rsync's fault; copying the file with cp should have similar chances of incurring the error. The symbolic name for errno 6 is ENXIO, and the Mac OS X read(2) man page documents two cases in which it occurs: [ENXIO] An action is requested of a device that does not exist.. [ENXIO] A requested action cannot be performed by the device. http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man2/read.2.html All I can guess is that there is something wrong with the destination disk or filesystem. You might search the web for `mac os x "device not configured"' for more hints. -- Matt -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
