I need to make a copy of 200GB in a 500GB external SSD disk to a 2TB NVMe M2 SSD, which has more than 1TB free. All my other disks and partitions have lots of GBs of free space, too (well, except for the boot partition).
Yet, when doing a rsync, I see a No space left on device (28) error with around 20 files:
rsync: [receiver] rsync_xal_set: lsetxattr("/extraHD/TEMP/<some folder>/RECEBIDOS/423___ KWR Designer ___ Neu++ Tuto \#302\#251 Christa JA.eml","user.OECustomProperty") failed: No space left on device (28)
Some facts:
- The folder
RECEBIDOS has 444 files and 465MB, so nothing really special.
- Running again
rsync gives the very same errors on the very same 20
files.
- Adding
--inplace to rsync does NOT solve the issue
(as expected).
- Trying to make a
rsyncof the RECEBIDOS folder
alone gives the very same errors on the very same files (this points to a problem on the external 500GB SSD), yet cp
individual files do work.
- After the progress finishes, I did both
diff
and sha1sum at each individual problematic files and all of them
are identical. So no loss.
Could it be some hardware issue with the receiving 2TB NVMe SSD? A bug in rsync?
Strangely, Windows do not even see the 500GB SSD. But this rsync error seems to point a problem on the receiving side.
EDIT
By request, I'm adding the output of two commands:
