Summary: File has vanished for files with foreign/unicode
characters
Product: rsync
Version: 2.6.9
Platform: x86
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
ReportedBy: andrew at bramp.freeserve.co.uk

I am using rsync inside cygwin to transfer files from my old PC to my new PC. I
have mapped the old PC's shares to drive letters, and then within cygwin I am
running the following command:
rsync -av /cygdrive/z/ /cygdrive/e/
Where z is the mapped drive, and e is the local drive where I'm copying the
files to.
Now I've copied ~500GB of files with this command without a problem, however a
few files refuse to be transfer always failing with the error: "file has
vanished".
The remote drive is not being altered, and both computers have synced clocks.
One thing I notice is that the file names always have foreign/Unicode
characters in them. The output I receive in the cygwin console is this:
file has vanished: "/cygdrive/z/mp3/A/Apocalyptica/Reflections/06 - Cohkka.mp3"
file has vanished: "/cygdrive/z/mp3/D/Dir en grey/six Ugly/06 - Byo??Shin
[second[]deep].mp3"
file has vanished:
"/cygdrive/z/mp3/F/FinnTroll/Nattfodd/Finntroll_-_Nattf?dd-ba
ck.jpg"
file has vanished:
"/cygdrive/z/mp3/F/FinnTroll/Nattfodd/Finntroll_-_Nattf?dd-fr
ont.jpg"
However the actual file names are displayed differently in explorer to the
rsync print outs:
"Z:\mp3\A\Apocalyptica\Reflections\06 - Äohkka.mp3" (mark above the C)
"Z:\mp3\D\Dir en grey\six Ugly\06 - Byo「」Shin [second[]deep].mp3" (funny
symbols between the "Byo" and "Shin"
"Z:\mp3\F\FinnTroll\Nattfodd\Finntroll_-_NattfÑdd-back.jpg" (Square looking u
in Nattfudd)
"Z:\mp3\F\FinnTroll\Nattfodd\Finntroll_-_NattfÑdd-front.jpg"
Some foreign characters do work, for example in the same
Apocalyptica\Reflections directory there is "10 - Cortége.mp3" (accent on the
e)
I'm unsure if this is a Rsync bug, or a cygwin bug. Both file systems are NTFS,
and both machines are running Windows XP. The Cygwin was freshly installed
yesterday with nothing altered except to add rsync.
I hope this is a real bug that can easily be fixed. Until then I can easily
copy the few files which rsync fails at.
thanks
Andrew
