rsync - Dec 2013 - Ignoring permission differences...

Hi all,

Ok, since 3.1 still isn't in stable, I'm curious if I can just find the 
equivalent of:

rsync -avHP --delete --exclude-from '/home/user/excludes.txt' 
/mnt/example.com/ /var/vmail/example.com/

But that will ignore differences in permissions - ie, won't recopy 
everything, just because the permissions on the source are different 
from the permissions on the target...

So, would this just be:

rsync -rltgovDHP --delete --exclude-from '/home/user/excludes.txt' 
/mnt/example.com/ /var/vmail/example.com/

?

Thanks,

-- 

Best regards,

That would be -a except for the -p part.

Also... being the paranoid schizophrenic that I am, adding the --delete 
option makes me nervous.

There is no way that the above command could end up deleting anything 
from '/mnt/example.com' (the source)... correct? I'm adding it to
avoid
the problem I had with the second run creating duplicate emails.

Thanks,

Rsync never recopies anything (which implies a file transfer) because of
permission differences -- it just updates the permissions.  If you mean
that you want to avoid permission changes, you can just add --no-p on the
command-line after the -a (but keep in mind you may need to fix up
permissions for any new transfers).  I also recommend -i
(--itemize-changes) to see what is happening (and --dry-run lets you test
it).
