--- Comment #1 from BruXy <martin at analyzere.com> ---
Hello,

I have fallen into the same trap described in this issue:

$ rsync -avvHPS --rsh='ssh' big_cache.tar.bz bruxy at remote:/mnt/data_cache/      
opening connection using: ssh -l bruxy remote rsync --server
-vvlHogDtprSe.iLsfx --partial . /mnt/data_cache/  (10 args)
sending incremental file list
delta-transmission enabled
big_cache.tar.bz 
697,513,154,774 100%  106.35MB/s    1:44:15 (xfr#1, to-chk=0/1)
rsync: mkstemp "/mnt/data_cache/.big_cache.tar.bz.mQWodj" failed: Permission

rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code
23) at main.c(1183) [sender=3.1.1]


The error message is displayed after this 650 GB file was transferred, but not
saved in the remote directory because of wrong permission. It would be nice to
receive this error sooner :)
