Unfortunately, I can't replicate the problem at will.
But I'll investigate using iwatch/inotify to log
everything from the file system's point of view.
That should shed some light on what's happening.
The file names don't contain any control characters
(but good thinking!).
thanks,

The complete rsync command at the client end is approximately:
rsync --files-from=/tmp/rptaudit.list.4958 -zltv --compress-level=9 \
-e 'ssh' --rsync-path 'umask 002; rsync' --chmod=D2770,F640 --exclude=archive
\
./ user@host:/var/thing/report >> /var/log/rpt2web/rpt2web.trace
cheers,

Yes, rsync-3.1.2

I didn't check but I expect so. I don't expect rsync to
If you are doing a small test run that duplicates the problem, you could
use inotifywait or tail -f to watch the log in real time on another
terminal. Maybe you'd see something like a line being overwritten, etc.
I don't know what rsync would do with a file name that ends in a
carriage return

It would be helpful to show the complete rsync command line.

Hi raf,
Curious issue you have. A few things:
What distro(s) are you using?
Same rsync version on both ends?
Hash of files look correct before and after the rsync?
Have you tried using inotify to monitor for changes at the fs level? You
should see a "read" on the sender and a "read" +
Thanks. I'll try that. But I agree that it'll be
something else. It's unlikely that whole trace files
are being overwritten, because there's locking in place
to prevent that sort of thing, but it's more likely
than anything else. I'll check that the locking is
working properly.
Although, when I
It does seem impossible. I would suggest adding --itemize-changes (-v
isn't really all that useful without it anyway). If entries are still
missing then I would suspect that either log files are missing (maybe
duplicate file names replacing the occasional log file?) or something
other than rsync
