Hi, I want to keep the home-Directorys of 2 machines in sync. Therefor I start rsync every hour with cron. In the Beginning all worked fine, but now ... I searched, but can't see the problem. The home-directorys on the "master" change very often, but the changes are no longer replicated to the "slave". Both run Linux and rsync 2.5.5. The master calls (the long line may be wrapped here) rsync -auvxz --delete --exclude-from /root/.rsync/home-daily.exc /home slave:/ once a hour and after building the filelist it says "home is uptodate". But when I make a "ls -rtl" on both machines .. its definitly not. master: ...

What does it contain?As I already said .. it worked in the beginning. The file only contains the following two lines: oracle/ labtimer/bin/> ..wayne..kind regards Markus -- Markus Lamers <lamers@seelig.de> Labor Prof. Seelig & Kollegen
Is /home now a symlink? The fact that the "is uptodate" message is
only
appearing on a single file ("home") makes me think it is not recursing
into the directory. If so, just change the end of your command line to
... /home/ slave:/home/
