I suggest using the --super option so that you ensure that the receiving
side attempts to chown the files, and you'll get warned if it doesn't have
the perms to do so (e.g. if the receiving rsync is not really running as
root).

However, some files did not changed size or rights. All files should have

You might be looking in the wrong dir,  e.g. if you did an rsync -a dir
/dest/dir and are looking in the /dest/dir hierarchy instead of the
/dest/dir/dir hierarchy.
