Hi I am getting messages like total: matches=0 tag_hits=0 false_alarms=0 data=0 or total: matches=29 tag_hits=59 false_alarms=0 data=1663794 in STDERR when I use rsync with "-vv". Is this a known bug? Here is the full rsync command: rsync -e ssh -abvv --delete --exclude lost+found/ --exclude core --exclude *.o --exclude .netscape/cache --max-delete=250 --backup-dir=/some/path remote:/path/to/sent /path/to/receive >>log_file 2>>error_file Platforms: Receive: Linux PC, 2.4.21, rsync v 2.5.6 protocol version 26 Sent: Solaris, 2.8, rsync v2.3.1 protocol version 20 [I know the Solaris version is ancient but I am not the sys. admin. ...] Is there a way to avoid this and still get most of the diagnostics of -vv? Any help or comment is appreciated. Matt -- Matthias Munnich UCLA Dep. of Atmospheric Science and Inst. for Geophysics and Planetary Physics
