That empty directory is where the actual diff is happening. Did you leave it there? I just ran a manual rsync on the cooker tree stopped it after it started writing the second file. When I restarted it the sync picked up from that file. Interesting. On ISOs the entire image will probably have to read and the progress will have to show something above 0% before it would pick up where it stopped. ISOs are still treated as one (very large) file. That may be why I always rsync against complete directories, but it's been so long since I started doing things this way I'd have to dig through a _lot_ of notes to be certain. > There was a partial file while rsync was running though. > No harm done except some wasted bandwidth, I used copies;) Sorry about your bandwidth. As stated above, on ISOs the entire source and target have to be read before anything is actually written. I'm truly sorry that I didn't make that clear sooner.

There are times during the cooker cycle that things are so screwed up that I only run with the --delete flag once a week. I can afford the bandwidth and space, bandwidth is (theoretically anyway) unlimited with my ISP and disk space is close enough for guvmint work. <g> > Always a joy sharing a thought or two with you, > thanks, > harM Ditto my friend.
