Summary: code 23 when files or directories disappear, instead of
code 24.
Product: rsync
Version: 3.0.5
Platform: x64
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
ReportedBy: zarniwhoop at ntlworld.com

I use a wrapper script to rsync to an nfs share. This runs from an fcrontab,
so it is not unusual for files to be deleted while the script is running, for
example if I remove a source directory after compiling it. The wrapper handles
code 24 and the process is regarded as successful.
Since 3.0.4 I'm sometimes seeing code 23 in this situation. The manual
suggests that is a real error. I first saw it with 3.0.4 on x86_64, and
initially assumed the error code had changed - until a run earlier this week
gave me the previously expected code 24.
Google has a number of postings for rsync code 23, all but one were from
3.0.4, the other was from 3.0.2. Most of them are just logs.
Yesterday, I updated to 3.0.5 on x86 and tested. The command is rsync -aHx
--delete --numeric-ids /home /nfs/staging/ . By untarring a package, starting
the wrapper, then deleting the package 2 or 3 seconds later, I got:

rsync: link_stat "/home/ken/abiword-extras-2.6.6" failed: No such file or
directory (2)
IO error encountered -- skipping file deletion
Today, I've repeated this adding -vvv to the command. The wrapper ended with
sent 70132491 bytes received 810694 bytes 287801.97 bytes/sec
total size is 13287948825 speedup is 187.30
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code
23) at main.c(1040) [sender=3.0.5]
_exit_cleanup(code=23, file=main.c, line=1040): about to call exit(23)
but within the approx 100MB of output, the only thing I found which looked
like an error was:
rsync: link_stat "/home/ken/abiword-extras-2.6.6" failed: No such file or
directory (2)
I'm starting to think that perhaps this is caused by a missing directory,
and/or there might be a race (because sometimes it seems to work as expected).
The affected systems were using kernels 2.6.28 and 2.6.28.2, with gcc-4.3.2 and
4.3.3 and glibc-2.8 or 2.9.
