Hi Amit.
#  df -kT /dev/sda11
Filesystem    Type   1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda11     xfs     3840937   2354891   1486046  62% /mnt/cdrom

No, i only run rsync to partition located at /dev/sda11. Meseems the
main information is size of log. Maybe there is board case when log is
minimal size (such small as mkfs allow).
Regards.
