Rsync halted because the target reached 100% full, even though the source was about 95% full at the start. I reduced source consumption to 85%, deleted some files on target to drop consumption to 90%, then reran rsync. At the end, source remained 85%, while target is at 94%. What's going on? Is my syntax not doing what I expect (mirroring)?
Do both filesystems have the same size of reserved space? For ext4 check with tune2fs -l /dev/[partition node] | grep Reserved, the setting is "Reserved block count". I set this to 0 for the filesystems of a backup, because during file transfer disk usage is twice that of the file, the issue that Linda mentioned before. This has a negative effect on fragmentation, though. Regards, Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
