rsync - Aug 2001 - Local Sync

Hi,

I m trying to use rsync to synchronise two local directories on the same
srver. The two local directories are actually smbfs mounts.

Using rsync /<path to location 1>   /<path to location 2> does
nothing.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks

Dean

Are you using the -a or -r options?  Are you remembering to include a
trailing slash on the source, if needed?  For instance:

  rsync -a /foo /bar

would create /bar/foo and everything in it, but you might want this
instead:

  rsync -a /foo/ /bar

which just copies all the contents of /foo into /bar.
