It still fails at the pagefile.sys even though I tell it to exclude pagefile and ntldr 2 different ways. I have read the manpage but I am very weak on proper syntax. I tried with including the .sys extension as well. No dice. Can you correct me here? Is my PATTERN correct? This is the command I used: steelhead:~# rsync -av --ignore-errors --force --exclude "mnt/pagefile" --exclude "mnt/ntldr" --exclude "pagefile" --exclude "ntldr" /mnt/ /root/nt Here is the error: send_files failed to open /mnt/pagefile.sys: Text file busy wrote 1995009521 bytes read 311284 bytes 794790.20 bytes/sec total size is 3606469105 speedup is 1.81 rsync error: partial transfer (code 23) at main.c(578) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
