Rsync and fuzzy param

[TookaFace]

Hi, with new version and new param for rsync, i have a problem.

If i create a file, for example, /var/log/foe.log, and reboot, then the file is no longer here with rsync set to true.

If i use cp then file is here at reboot.

I ran some tests, and without fuzzy param, it work, file is here at reboot.

Hi,
I didn't see this behavior. Sorry for the inconvenient.

Is the file present into /var/hdd.log/foe.log ?

what is your rsync --version ?

Ok, I see the issue.
it's appear when you hit race condition.
It's a conflict between --append and --fuzzy. Append will avoid fuzzy to do is job on smaller file than destination.

Ok, my rsync version is 3.1.2 protocol version 31.

Can you replace
rsync -aXWv --fuzzy --no-whole-file --append --delete-after --links
by
rsync -aXv --inplace --no-whole-file --delete-after

On the file /usr/local/bin/log2ram (2 places on the file. L21 and L41).
It's should be better.

That seems to work, thank you
