Hi,

I'm trying to achieve "resume broken transfers" by using RSYNC at file level but could not succeed. I used the below:

rsync -auvz --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync --partial --progress /temp1 <remote_ip>:/temp2
and broken the connection by pressing ctrl-C while a big file being copied. Then i rerun the above same rsync command, it simply skips the broken file (partial file exists on destination)

Then i tried without "-u" option as below:

rsync -avz --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync --partial --progress /temp1 <remote_ip>:/temp2 then it does NOT resume at all but starts from beginning of the broken file.

Pl help me...

TIA
Prvn

Why do you think the file data is all being resent? It can appear that a file resend is happening, since rsync needs to perform block checksums to determine what it needs to send, but the rsync rate far exceeds the data rate while this is happening. For example, rsync will report 20-30MB/sec while the connecting facility may only be a 10Mb/sec Ethernet. You can use additionally verbose debugging (-vvv or more) to determine what is happening and why.
