Correct, and if rsync stops (or is killed) without the transfer being
complete, it deletes its tempfile and essentially leaves everything unchanged.
So the big file you saw after rsyncing only 2% was still your pseudo-image.
(Note that this is the intentional behaviour; otherwise you would have had
only 2%=13MB left, and would have had to re-create the pseudo-image.)
