Re: files not moved immediately to final destination from temp location after rsync returns with success

Yes, we are not trying to directly access the data via calls outside the file system so the VFS should have handled it correctly. Our logs don't show any type of errors related to SD card access or file system access in general. Thanks, Alistair On Sat, Apr 23, 2011 at 9:04 AM, Cameron Simpson

I am using rsync version 3.0.7 on an arm linux based embedded device. The device pulls data periodically from a rsync server and stores the files on an SD card. The partial, temp and final rsync destinations all reside on the SD card. I came across an issue where it seems that the rsync
