Not quite.  I did it with cp -a.  Because all the metadata survived, cp
would create the target file, but then get an i/o error on opening/reading
the source file.  It would print an error message, but not delete the
empty target file. Consequently I ended up with loads of zero length files
I had to go in and delete afterwards.

I briefly looked for an rsync option to keep going on source i/o errors
but didn't find one.
