[AMaViS-user] md5sum -c failing on some files after rsync backup

Hello list readers,

I am doing rsync backups based on Mike Rubels recipe
(http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/). I am also creating
lvm snapshots of partitions whose contents changes fast. In order to
verify if evyerthing went ok, I do md5sum checks on all files. Everytime
some amavis files in /var are failing the test. Here they are:

../amavis/db/__db.001: FAILED
../amavis/db/__db.002: FAILED
../amavis/db/__db.003: FAILED
../amavis/quarantine/spam-Tj3tsKAU7G3c.gz: FAILED
../amavis/quarantine/spam-VyKl+vwlBxlY.gz: FAILED
../amavis/quarantine/spam-pAMwYjbMNhuP.gz: FAILED
../amavis/quarantine/spam-36fTxT+IWOPS.gz: FAILED
../amavis/quarantine/virus-tvUARLx2txFB: FAILED
../amavis/quarantine/spam-Zli5v0qZSomA.gz: FAILED

I wasn't stopping services on that machine, because I thought that taking
snapshots with lvm would give me a consistent state of the filesystem.
Ok, maybe I really have a consistent state and rsync is to be blamed.
However, I also stopped amavisd-new and all other services before I did
the lvm snapshot and I still get the above failures.

Has anybody an idea why and how to get rid of them?

TIA and kind regards,

Timo
