Tried rsync -av /home/username /media/disk for the first time. Every thing appeared to go well but there was an error message at the end: rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(977) [sender=2.6.9] Running "diff -r /home/holtzm /media/disk/home" returned nothing which indicates they are identical. The question is what files could not be transferred and is there a better way of checking? Any help appreciated. -- Bob Holtzman "If you think you're getting free lunch, check the price of the beer" --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
