Hi, While backing up my data to an external hard drive, I get a strange error:
tyler:tylers_laptop-> rsync -a ~/analysis/ ./thesis19Apr07/analysis/ rsync: symlink "/mnt/jumpdrive/tylers_laptop/thesis19Apr07/analysis/ aflp/.#.AFLPScripts-preOct06.R" -> "[EMAIL PROTECTED]:1174748709" failed: Operation not permitted (1) rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(977) [sender=2.6.9] The file in question is not a symlink, or anything special: tyler:tylers_laptop-> cd ~/analysis/aflp/ tyler:aflp-> ls -l total 3704 *output snipped* -rw-r--r-- 1 tyler tyler 12682 2007-04-01 00:02 #.AFLPScripts-preOct06.R# *output snipped* The hashes suggest that it was an emacs autosave, I don't recall exactly. It opens fine and appears to contain uncorrupted data. The rsync-ed backup is identical to the original, according to diff. Why is rsync complaining?
