Conversion from Reiserfs to XFS : rsync errors

[P_K]

I'm moving my disks from ReiserFS to XFS after upgrading to 6.4. I follow the procedure from here  :

when copying disk3 to disk9, the rsync stopped after 10 hours more or less (earlier then I expected) : 

 

sent 1,270,465,325,294 bytes  received 705,847 bytes  33,832,630.68 bytes/sec

total size is 1,270,152,418,034  speedup is 1.00

rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1178) [sender=3.1.2]

 

I don't have all the output rsync produced before that so cannot 'see previous errors'. My syslog shows this : 

Jan 22 08:10:22 Tower kernel: REISERFS warning (device md3): jdm-20001 reiserfs_xattr_get: Invalid magic for xattr (user.org.netatalk.supports-eas.bCcdQh) associated with [2 2112 0x0 SD]

The strange thing however is that disk3 has 1.95Tb on it while disk9 now only has 1.27Tb. Seems that big part is not copied... 

 

 

Should I start over and maybe use the --log-file=/path/to/log option on the rsync this time to see if I get errors during the copy? Any other advise ?

Reiserfs has issues with extended attributes, just don't copy those (remove -X from your rsync command).
