Often I get a broken pipe failure message while transferring a file tree and the failure happens at the large file that happens to be the Java developers kit xxxxxx.tar.gz file.   rsync --delete $3 --partial --timeout=100 --progress \    --times --perms --owner --group \    --rsh=ssh \    $1/ root@$DESTINATIONIP:$2 Upon running it again, the large file is transferred from the beginning. It seems that the --partial option has no effect? Why?This scenario has Ubuntu 14.04 on both sides.
rsync partial seems not to work as expected
