I have been doing rsync from one storage to another. Both storage have the same configuration (sizes, file type etc etc).

The 1st storage is a main file storage accessed thru Samba. No problem with Samba at all.

After doing rsync (no errors whatsoever), I tried to open the files synched on the mirror storage but I get the error message "Unexpected File Format" message.

What is kinda weird is that, rsync didn't generate errors and was completed successfully (around 1.1TB), Samba was not generating errors, and the "Unexpected File Format" error message only happens when I access Flash files (files made in Adobe Flash). Opening other file types (avi, mov, ms docs, etc) doesn't generate such error.

Where do you think should I check? I've checked Samba configuration and it's okay both the on the main storage and the mirror.

My rsync command is "rsync -av --hard-links source:/folder/folder destination:/folder/folder"

thank you very much.
