I should point out the line that shows the rsync command is some debugging code I stuck in 'getimage' so I could see what was going on. I'm at a complete loss as to what is wrong. I even tried reinstalling SLES9 a couple of times and using the latest version of rsync and I still get the error. From what I can tell from the rsync documentation this means that when it builds a list of files to be deleted (those that exist on the server but not on the client), it can't and therefore some files may no be deleted. It is described as a warning.
Anyhow, if I add the switch "--ignore-errors" to the rsync command, it runs to completion and I can install/boot the image, but it still doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy.
Anybody ever deal with and resolve the problem at the source other than masking it with the 'ignore-errors' switch? Clearly it is a problem with rsync because I can manually run the command shown above (that's the reason I printed it in the first place) and it continually fails, but the fact that this is so integral to SystemImager it would be nice to figure out exactly what it going on and make any hacks - oops, I mean enhancements - to SI to allow it to handle it more cleanly. At the very least, how about an --ignore-errors switch on getimage?
