I have found several instances where rsync refuses to copy a new file.
I am using it to sync changes from a staging web server to production
servers, and there are certain files that it just plain won't copy. The
file is totally new. No such name has ever existed on the target server(,
or on the source server until now).
In this instance, I added 3 completely new files to the same
directory. Two are copied perfectly, and one of them (ending in tar.Z) is
ignored completely. All files have the same permission.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 cvsuser cvsgroup 12420 Mar 27 13:37
lesstif-0.93.18-5.i386.rpm
-rw-rw-r-- 1 cvsuser cvsgroup 28452909 Mar 27 13:37 fame90linux_x86.tar.Z
-rw-rw-r-- 1 cvsuser cvsgroup 2539144 Mar 27 13:37 lesstif-0.93.18-5.src.rpm
The command that I am using
/usr/local/bin/rsync -avuz -C ---status
--exclude-from=/disk1/tools/scripts/syncwww_exclude --rsh=ssh
/disk1/wwwstage/noncvs/downloads www2.fame.com:/disk1/noncvs
No error is given. So as many times as I execute the above, it says no
files transferred:
.....
building file list ... done
Number of files: 30
Number of files transferred: 0
Total file size: 684817120 bytes
Total transferred file size: 0 bytes
Literal data: 0 bytes
Matched data: 0 bytes
File list size: 874
Total bytes written: 886
Total bytes read: 20
The exclude only has a couple server-dependent file names. No wildcards.
I am running rsync 2.4.6 on Solaris 8.
Any ideas?
thanks!

Thanks, J.W. Removing the -C worked. But it also showed that the -C
didn't do what I thought it did. The man page says:
-C, --cvs-exclude auto ignore files in the same way
CVS does
For some reason I read this to mean that it was excluding the cvs-specific
files in the 'CVS' directories that cvs puts everywhere it is used.
Exactly what is it really excluding?
