Those errors are probably occurring from copying files from a partition
that supports permissions to a drive/partition with something like a
fat32 filesystem that does not support permissions.
By changing the -a to a -r rsync simply copies the files instead of
trying to preserve all the permissions, so no errors.

(copied below for your convenience.) Their solution was to change the
archive tag (-a) to a recursive (-r) tag. What about the other
settings that -a preserves? //
However, it didn't work for me and I just noticed that what rsync
seems to be doing is taking all of the videos I have in the folder
"Darktable" and refusing to copy them and in the error message
appending the file name with a 6 character string (.y4Qitq in the
example shown).
Perhaps it is expecting a file type (.mp4 or something) and when it
doesn't find it creates it's own.
Rsync from linux server to a Windows server as a redundant backup
using cwrsync but getting an error for the chown command on the
directories being backed up.
The issue was simple enough, stop telling rsync to change the owner as
the linux command is invalid on the windows server.
1
|rsync -atv /directorytobackup/ windowsserver::cwshare|
changed to
1
|rsync -rtv /directorytobackup/ windowsserver::cwshare|
and all is now quiet from an error message perspective.
Thanks to Marcin <http://www.itefix.no/i2/node/12250> and Linux
Questions Forum
<http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/rsync-chown-errors-to-fat32-usb-drive-781736/> for
the solution.
But I'm going from Linux to a USB drive.
