Please advise ,
- why getting this error, what is wrong.


Thanks,

Unfortunately, rsync does not quite explain the error message. The key is error code 28 and if it had been reported as "errno 28" then the reason would be obvious:

from /usr/include/sys/errno.h:
errno 28 = ENOSPC /* No space left on device */

[ENOSPC] No space left on device. During a write() to an
ordinary file, there is no free space left on the
device; or no space in system table during msgget(),
semget(), or semop() while SEM_UNDO flag is set.


In other words, the destination filesystem is full.

bdf /data_ARCH/var_opt_perf/

which show how current size of you destination file system, or you can use df -k

/data_ARCH is a 200G filesystem with all free space , so the write error can be ruled out. Thanks.
