It is definitely rsync.

When the destination file exists rsync rsyncs to
.filename.randomgarbage and then renames it at the end to the real
filename. If the file has changed between the runs you have to have
the quota to hold both files.

try rsyncing a big file, i.e.

rsync -aH --delete --numeric-ids ./ibdata1 alex at alex:/tmp

ssh alex at alex touch /tmp/ibdata1

now rsync again and during sync look in the destination

> ls -al /tmp/ibdata1 /tmp/.ibdata1*
-rw-rw---- 1 alex alex 748683264 2008-12-10 15:19 /tmp/ibdata1
-rw------- 1 alex alex 513540096 2008-12-10 15:20 /tmp/.ibdata1.d1zEBU

so if the file is bigger than your available disk space, migration will
fail.
