[cobalt-users] rsync error: partial transfer (code 23) at main.c(925)

[enrique <enrique@xxxxxxxx>]

I am having difficulty backing up my raq3 running rsync version 2.4.6  
protocol version 24. I keep getting the error "rsync error: partial 
transfer (code 23) at main.c(925)" at the end of the download. I've 
tried several downloads in various areas of the raq and I continue to 
get this error.

One of the errors I have found is in the count of the number of files 
rsync makes. For instance the listing below shows that there are 59 
files to be transfered. When I do a ls -la in this particular 
directory, I can only count 58. After transfer, I count the same number 
of files on the received end. Why am I getting a count of 59 files via 
rsync, when in fact there only seems to be 58? Is there any other way 
to verify the number of files in the directory then using ls -la?

receiving file list ...
59 files to consider

Number of files: 59
Number of files transferred: 58
Total file size: 129466 bytes
Total transferred file size: 129466 bytes
Literal data: 129466 bytes
Matched data: 0 bytes
File list size: 971
Total bytes written: 1054
Total bytes read: 132907

wrote 1054 bytes  read 132907 bytes  3391.42 bytes/sec
total size is 129466  speedup is 0.97
rsync error: partial transfer (code 23) at main.c(925)

The rsync request I am using is this:

rsync -e ssh --recursive --progress --verbose --stats --exclude=logs/ 
--copy-unsafe-links --relative 
--password-file=/Users/enrique/Documents/.info -az 
xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx::SITE7 /Users/enrique/cobalt/site7/web/widgets

My rsync.conf file is:

uid = root
gid = root
max connections = 1
syslog facility = daemon
socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE
motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock
hosts allow = xxxxxxx/24
[SITE7]
  path = /home/sites/site7/web/widgets
#  comment = s
  auth users = xxxxx
  secrets file = xxxxxxxx
  read only = true
#  exclude = '*backup*'
  dont compress = *gz *.zip *.z *.rpm *.gif *.jpg

Any help from the cobalt users group will be greatly appreciated. If I 
can figure out why I am getting the rsync error, maybe I will finally 
be able to do some good backups of my raq3.
