Did you capture rsync's output? It should tell you exactly which file it could not deal with.
Tee the output and grep for error may give you info. In addition to the problems Lisa mentioned, rsync also can choke on linked files.

Every thing appeared to go well but there was an error message at the end: rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(977) [sender=2.6.9] Running "diff -r /home/holtzm /media/disk/home" returned nothing which indicates they are identical. The question is what files could not be transferred and is there a better way of checking? Any help appreciated. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
