rsync fails to finish receiving files

Hi folks,

I run a local mirror, which basically does

rsync -rtlHp4 --safe-links --timeout=600 --contimeout=60 --delay-updates --no-motd --partial --exclude .~tmp~ -v rsync://141.35.51.219/archlinux-all/archlinux32/ /srv/http/arch/archlinux32/

from the master mirror. For some time now (~1 week), it fails to move the files out of their .~tmp~ directory. Any ideas, what I did wrong? (It worked before).

I already moved all the partial-files over (from pool/.~tmp~/ to pool/), now rsync claims to copy the files again.

Can anyone share their rsync options, please?

regards,

rsync claims to output useful error codes.  Can you capture these, they might be useful?

Ah, I forgot to mention: rsync does not report any errors (exit code included). I'm currently trying with

rsync --delete-after -av

... let's see

Re: rsync fails to finish receiving files

That's unexpected.  I don't normally expect the man pages to be so wrong.
