159 If `rsync` encounters an error, it will abort, having only partially completed.
160 In particular, if it encounters a directory which it cannot read, because it
161 is for example owned by another user and not world-readable, it will abort.
162 `ellsync` does not currently detect this properly (if it is detectable (I hope
163 that it is!))
159 * If `rsync` encounters an error, it will abort, having only partially completed.
160 In particular, if it encounters a directory which it cannot read, because it
161 is for example owned by another user and not world-readable, it will abort.
162 `ellsync` does not currently detect this properly. It should be made to handle
163 it gracefully, if possible.
164 * On external media, a file may become corrupted; `rsync` will not detect this
165 by default. My theory is that this is because the timestamp matches, so it
166 doesn't check the contents. See if there is an option to `rsync` to ignore
167 the timestamp, or otherwise work around the timestamp issue. One option might
168 be to run `diff` on every pair of files, and invalidate the timestamp on any
169 files that do differ.
170 * On external media on my OS, sometimes the sync is very fast, but the subsequent
171 unmount/"writing data to device, do not remove" phase takes a very long time.
172 See if there is a way to call `fsync` on the files updated by `rsync` so that
173 the delay happens at sync time.
174 * Tab-completion of stream names.
175 * (Aspirational) Ability to convert the backup router to a `dot` file (`graphviz`)
176 so that the relationships between the streams can be easily visualized.
