Is there a way to make the rsync daemon use sync or whatsoever to make sure the rsync command returns only if all transferred data is written to physical media[?]<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>You can't delay the return, but you can ask the rsync daemon to run "sync" by using a "post-xfer exec" command. If you want that to run only for received files (i.e. if the module could be alternately used for sending files too), you'll need to also specify a pre-xfer exec command that analyzes the RSYNC_REQUEST variable, note the RSYNC_PID of any request that is for an incoming transfer, and make your post-xfer exec check if its RSYNC_PID indicates that it is a writing transfer. Alternately, you could make one module write-only and a duplicate module read-only and only put the post-xfer sync onto the write-only module.</div>
