rsync failed because of a disk space problem. However, I think it should not have this problem.
I have 2 mounted drive. Each have 60 GB. On each drive, there is a 50 GB file (it's a virtual machine) and nothing else. When I sync one with another, there should not be a problem, because there are 10 GB left, and also, shouldn't it re-use the space of the destination file? I found that it creates a 10 GB temporary file on the destination folder. It looks like it doesn't write to the destination file, but rather creating a temporary file first (like a diff or something). I really don't know the inner working of it. However, I would assume it just updating the destination, and there should be plenty of space for that. So, could someone please help me set an option or something to say sync direction on the destination, or a patch to rsync? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Rsync-Runs-Out-of-Space-Because-of-Temp-File-tp22953370p22953370.html Sent from the Samba - rsync mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
