Partial Transfer
================
What is the ‘partial transfer’ warning about?
It corresponds to an error status of 24 from `rsync`, which documents
it as ‘Partial transfer due to vanished source files’.
Within `rsync`, this is:
#define RERR_VANISHED 24 /* file(s) vanished on sender side */
...and:
{ RERR_VANISHED , "some files vanished before they could be transferred" },
...and:
/* VANISHED is not an error, only a warning */
if (code == RERR_VANISHED) {
rprintf(FWARNING, "rsync warning: %s (code %d) at %s(%d) [%s=%s]\n",
name, code, file, line, who_am_i(), RSYNC_VERSION);
} else {
rprintf(FERROR, "rsync error: %s (code %d) at %s(%d) [%s=%s]\n",
name, code, file, line, who_am_i(), RSYNC_VERSION);
}
It is set during cleanup:
if (exit_code == 0) {
if (code)
exit_code = code;
if (io_error & IOERR_DEL_LIMIT)
exit_code = RERR_DEL_LIMIT;
if (io_error & IOERR_VANISHED)
exit_code = RERR_VANISHED;
if (io_error & IOERR_GENERAL || got_xfer_error)
exit_code = RERR_PARTIAL;
}
`IOERR_VANISHED` is set in three places. The general idea seems to be
that the file (or link or whatever) formerly existed (e.g. in a
directory listing) but has now gone away. So this reflects either a
backup target changing ‘underfoot’, or strange filesystem semantics.
