I tried running the following rsync command
mit@titan:~$
rsync -av --exclude=/mnt/sdb1/zunk/ --delete --ignore-errors --log-file=/mnt/sdb1/rsync_log /mnt/sdb1/ /mnt/sdc1/backups/
(sorry if it wraps)
using the --ignore-errors which according to the man pages say
"delete even if there are I/O errors"
Which there were showing up in the kog from last night. This failed with more
errors stating that it could not because it was a read only file system
(which as far as I can tell it is not)
A quick ls -l of the backup folder on sdc1 shows
mit@titan:/mnt/sdc1/backups$ ls -l
total 60
