--- Comment #5 from sambab...@phox.ca --- @Kevin, your understanding here is incorrect: rsync bails entire transfers on things that are NOT fatal to the entire transfer, and --ignore-errors overrides this. I ended up stumbling upon this bug as a result of trying to remediate the behaviour in the case of the following error: rsync: write failed on "/mnt/PICO3/foo.tbz2": File too large (27) --ignore-errors does indeed override the fail-through behaviour in this otherwise non-fatal instance. (Hint: I'm rsyncing to a vfat filesystem ;), and this file is about 4.5G. In addition to the fact that the --ignore-errors documentation clearly needs revising, this raises two additional, separate bugs pertaining to a) not caring what errno is, and b) the fact that in the spirit of saving bandwidth we should use fallocate(2) unless a --skip-[f]allocate switch (e.g. for compressed destination filesystems) is presented, so we're not transferring data that we could have predicted would get thrown out... and a third for c) --progress tells us the wrong thing when the file can no longer be grown, indicating that the transfer is actually at 100%!) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
