Hi, I'm using rsync with -aP --remove-source-files to move files from one machine to another while watching the progress. I'm under the impression that rsync is deleting the transmitted source files on-the-fly, not at the very end, but with a delay of 2-3 files, i.e. if 10 files are moved the first source file is deleted after the third of fourth file got transmitted. However, if rsync is aborted (CTRL+C) all fully source transmitted files are deleted. Can anyone tell me if this delay is intended behavior and if it can be manipulated/configured differently? My source machine has only limited space (10GB), my files are rather big (.4 - 1.2GB each) and my bandwidth around 300-500KB, so sometimes I want to get rid of the sent files as fast as possible without waiting for the next files being transmitted.
I couldn't find more information about this. The --delete* options are all for receiving side deletions, not for the source files.
