THX for sharing your experiences and knowledge :-) I have just tried to "reverse engineer" the possible reasons from the source code and have found 21 reasons that I hope will never happen ;-) So ignoring (or treating as a warning only) sound as best option so far. ----- Looking into the rsync source code I can see only one location where exit code 23 is set: https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/blob/2f9b963abaa52e44891180fe6c0d1c2219f6686d/errcode.h#L42 #define RERR_PARTIAL 23 /* partial transfer */ https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/blob/2f9b963abaa52e44891180fe6c0d1c2219f6686d/log.c#L97 { RERR_PARTIAL , "some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors)" }, https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/blob/2f9b963abaa52e44891180fe6c0d1c2219f6686d/cleanup.c#L217-L218 if (io_error & IOERR_GENERAL || got_xfer_error) exit_code = RERR_PARTIAL; So the question is which reasons cause - IOERR_GENERAL - got_xfer_error to be true? IOERR_GENERAL is set for different reasons (first line is the log output format string): 1. receive_sums failed [what is that at all?]: https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/blob/2f9b963abaa52e44891180fe6c0d1c2219f6686d/sender.c#L345-L348 2. send_files failed to open %s https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/blob/2f9b963abaa52e44891180fe6c0d1c2219f6686d/sender.c#L358-L362 3. fstat failed https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/blob/2f9b963abaa52e44891180fe6c0d1c2219f6686d/sender.c#L373C33-L373C45 4. read errors mapping %s https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/blob/2f9b963abaa52e44891180fe6c0d1c2219f6686d/sender.c#L433-L436 5. change_dir %s failed https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/blob/2f9b963abaa52e44891180fe6c0d1c2219f6686d/flist.c#L366-L369 6. skipping overly long name: %s https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/blob/2f9b963abaa52e44891180fe6c0d1c2219f6686d/flist.c#L1245-L1247 7. symlink has no referent: %s See the source code comments there when symlinks are checked: https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/blob/2f9b963abaa52e44891180fe6c0d1c2219f6686d/flist.c#L1271C1-L1282C28 8. readlink_stat(%s) failed https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/blob/2f9b963abaa52e44891180fe6c0d1c2219f6686d/flist.c#L1293-L1295 9. skipping file with bogus (zero) st_mode: %s https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/blob/2f9b963abaa52e44891180fe6c0d1c2219f6686d/flist.c#L1298-L1302 10. skipping symlink with 0-length value: %s https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/blob/2f9b963abaa52e44891180fe6c0d1c2219f6686d/flist.c#L1565-L1566 11.
