Rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23).
Got this error message and looking for a fix?
Basically, the rsync error code 23 denotes ‘partial transfer due to error‘. This happens due to file permission problems.
At Bobcares, we often get requests to fix rsync errors, as a part of our Server Management Services.
Today, let’s see how our Support Engineers fix the rsync error 23 for our customers.
What does rsync error code 23 mean?
Rsync stands for remote sync. Actually, Rsync is a fast, flexible and secure file synchronization tool.
But in many situations, the file transfer via Rsync ends up in errors.
Usually, the error code 23 denotes a partial transfer. This code does not provide the reason for the incomplete transfer.
So, the error code 23 is basically a status code denoting an incomplete file transfer. The reason for this can be permission denial, input/output errors, typos in rsync command and so on.
A typical error shows up as:
How we fix rsync error code 23?
The Dedicated Engineers at Bobcares debug and fix rsync errors for our customers. Now let’s see a few situations were our customers got the rsync error code 23.
1. Error code 23 due to permission denial
In the first instance, a customer executed a rsync command to transfer files within his system.
Here the command was:
rsync -avz /home/user_name /home/guest/backup
But, this command ended up in error code 23. Our Support Engineers re-executed the rsync command with -av options. Then we got an error message:
rsync: link_stat "xxxx/xxxxx/xxx" failed: Permission denied (13).
So, the partial file transfer was because of the permission denied error. Hence we fixed the permissions of the files and folders to resolve the error.
2. To find the files that are not transferred
Again, one of the major challenges in failed Rsync transfer is to find the files that didn’t transfer.
To overcome this problem, users always monitor the rsync operations by executing the command:
rsync -av --progress
Usually, this command gives an entire terminal output along with the errors. The rsync operation ends up in error code 23. But, from a large number of output lines, it may be difficult to find the reason for error code 23.
In this situation, our Support Engineers execute the rsync command again with option-n
.
Basically, the option-n
denotes dry run, that is, it performs a trial run with no changes made. Thus we could actually see the files that are not transferred. And we could fix errors with these files.
A snippet from one of our servers :
root@awsxxx:~# rsync -azhv -e "ssh -p 2212" --dry-run /home/bobcares/test_200719 --delete-after --dry-run root@5x.136.xxx.121:/home/bobcares/test_200719
building file list ... done
created directory /home/bobcares/test_200719
test_200719/
test_200719/test
sent 79 bytes received 70 bytes 298.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 (DRY RUN)
Similarly, we could also use the option-q
to suppress non-error messages.
Finally, we also make sure that typos in the rsync command do not cause the error.

Conclusion
In short, the rsync error code 23 denotes partial transfer due to error. The error can be anything from typos in the rsync command to permission denial of files. Today, we saw how our Support Engineers sort out the error code 23.

Я пишу script, который делает ежедневные снимки домашних каталогов пользователей. Сначала я делаю сухой прогон, используя:
rsync -azvrn --out-format="%M %f" source/dir dest/dir
а затем действительную операцию rsync (удалив опцию -n
).
Я пытаюсь разобрать результат сухого хода. В частности, мне интересно узнать точную причину ошибки rsync (если это произошло). Кто-нибудь знает о
- Наиболее распространенные ошибки rsync и их коды?
- Ссылка на общую страницу кода ошибки rsync?
Самое главное, что rsync (по крайней мере, на CentOs 5) не возвращает код ошибки. Скорее он отображает ошибки внутри и возвращает с 0. Например:
sending incremental file list
rsync: link_stat "/data/users/gary/testdi" failed: No such file or directory (2)
sent 18 bytes received 12 bytes 60.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 (DRY RUN)
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1039) [sender=3.0.6]
Кто-нибудь должен был анализировать ошибки rsync и предлагать, как сохранить состояние возврата rsync? Я считаю, что при передаче нескольких файлов эти ошибки могут быть подняты для каждого файла и собраны в конце, как показано на последней строке вышеприведенного кода.
Ответ 1
На странице «человек» rsync здесь приведены коды ошибок, которые он может вернуть и что они означают. Если вы создаете скрипт в bash, вы можете посмотреть $?
0 Success
1 Syntax or usage error
2 Protocol incompatibility
3 Errors selecting input/output files, dirs
4 Requested action not supported: an attempt was made to manipulate 64-bit
files on a platform that cannot support them; or an option was specified
that is supported by the client and not by the server.
5 Error starting client-server protocol
6 Daemon unable to append to log-file
10 Error in socket I/O
11 Error in file I/O
12 Error in rsync protocol data stream
13 Errors with program diagnostics
14 Error in IPC code
20 Received SIGUSR1 or SIGINT
21 Some error returned by waitpid()
22 Error allocating core memory buffers
23 Partial transfer due to error
24 Partial transfer due to vanished source files
25 The --max-delete limit stopped deletions
30 Timeout in data send/receive
35 Timeout waiting for daemon connection
Я никогда не видел исчерпывающий список «наиболее распространенных ошибок», но я уверен, что код ошибки 1 будет наверху.

I am at a loss as to what to try next, and really don’t want to have to do a clean install, so any advice is appreciated.

error following an update
Hi Patricia,
Thank you for using Windows 10.
The error code suggests the issue to be of Windows Updates. I suggest you to
Run the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool which fixes the Windows corruption error if there are any. Follow the steps:- Press Windows+X.
- Click on Command Prompt (Admin).
-
Type the command DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
and hit Enter.
If the issue still persists, then let us know and we’ll be glad to help.

The RstMwService service terminated with the following error: %%2684420176
Hello everyone, so my computer has been freezing on me recently and the only way to resolve it is to restart my computer. I googled around trying to figure out what was going on and found a forum post telling me to check eventviewer, so I did. Looking into this I found a recurring error that I think is causing my PC to crash «The RstMwService service terminated with the following error:%%2684420176»
Of course the first thing I did was google RstMwService and I found instructions from years ago telling me how to remove it. Apparently it’s some intel thing? Problem is this RstMwService does not appear in my computer at all as an app nor I can find it running in the task manager. This makes me wonder if this thing is pre-built into Windows 11? I reinstalled Windows 11 and still had the same problem but it wasn’t a clean install, I did it from the settings menu. My computer is an MSI Laptop so maybe this is something bundled with my laptop and if so can I remove it?
