[lbackup-discussion] Random rsync Errors

[Michael Williams]

Hi Henry,

We seam to have managed to get it to behave itself now. I'm not sure, but the drive may have been formatted with an MBR as appose to a GUID partition table. We've repartitioned the drive, done some updates and a reboot on the machine and it seams to be behaving itself ok now.

Regards,

Michael
