Bug ID: 12153 Summary: Possible malfunctions of rsync after encountering >4GbFat32Error Product: rsync Version: 3.1.1 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 Component: core Assignee: way...@samba.org Reporter: daniel-i...@gmx.net QA Contact: rsync...@samba.org I use rsync to transfer a large number of files locally from one disk to another. rsync -avv --progress /media/source/ /media/destination/ source is on an ext4 filesystem destination is on a fat32 filesystem The destination disk was checked and found to be OK by the badblocks-command The destination filesystem was freshly created by mkdosfs. There are chinese characters in the filenames. Filename encoding is utf-8 on both source (defined by locales) and destination (reported by mount command). Rsync ends up with an error message saying that a file from source is bigger than 4gb. So far, this is expected behaviour because of the file size limitation on a FAT32 filesystem. Possible malfunction 1: Some other files smaller than 4gb are missing in the destination as well. Possible malfunction 2: When repeating the rsync command (to resume the transfer), files are transferred that do already exist in the dest directory. The files match in creation time and in comparison by diff command. fsck does not report any errors. But nevertheless, some files are transferred again. I can see big files being transferred again using the --progress option. -- 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.
