Serge, from what I understand of rsync, it never writes directly to the destination file, it will create a temporary hidden file and write to that, then unlink/rename when the transfer is complete.
So the steps can just be rsync rsync://mirror/file.iso orig.iso it won't interfere at all with anything that has the .iso opened.. it will be like any other unlinked open file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/691590 Title: libvirt should not take ownership of ISO images -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
