destination out of space #265

Hi, I use it to backup whole server to another, script launched by cron every day at 2am. I m forcing ipv4 and also using an exclude list. rsync_tmbackup.sh --rsync-append-flags "-4" // user@server.destinati.on:/backup-dir exclude.list Everything works great for a few days, but when I'm using up all the space on the partition where the destination directory is, it fills up to 100% and in the logs I only find an rsync I/O error. I would expect some old backups to be automatically deleted instead, but this doesn't happen.

Also for me standard backup, with all default and no special parameters, start to fail when destination fills up.

The software looks unable to delete old stuff to make space for the new.

I believe I have the same issue rsync: [receiver] write failed on "some_file_name": No space left on device (28) Pierre
