Yes, as I said in my last email, that's what rsync does with unreadable
sections of the file.  There's nothing wrong with this action, as it
can't know what data goes in the places that it can't read.

No, you need to solve the read() errors on the source side.  Those
aren't rsync's fault, at least, not directly -- my previous email
contained instructions on how to make rsync read smaller chucks
(since you thought that might help avoid the read errors).
