Hi All,

   I am using 
       CentOS 5 (RHEL 5 clone)
       rsync-2.6.9-1.el5.rf (the lastest rpm I could find).
       imation HMDS-04GK, E-D900-03-3213  4GB memory stick

   When I rsync to a local USB memory stick, it copies for
a while, then corrupts my stick.  I have to re-fdisk it (t=b)
and re-mkfs.vfat it after every test.

   My code lines are:

Target="/mnt/MyCDs"
Source="/home/CDs"
rsync -rv --delete $Source/Linux    $Target/.
rsync -rv --delete $Source/Internet $Target/.
rsync -rv --delete $Source/Drivers  $Target/.

The following is the error message appear after
my stick gets corrupted.  The rsync make it all
the way through to the Drivers directory before
corrupting.  :'(

Many thanks,
-T
