Yeah, I got an Input/Output error when running strace. I don't have the luxury to smash my harddrive so testing with a CD is my only choice (afaik) right now. Still, I do think that rsync should give up after a long time, but it doesn't. So, any advice?<br>

</div>I suspect that this is more down to the OS and the CDROM drive both<br>
trying very hard to read the damaged data. You would have to do a strace<br>
or similar to determine whether rsync is actually getting IO errors from<br>
the OS or not.<br>
