This is going to sound somewhat ridiculous, it sounds ridiculous to me even saying it; however I'm running into a somewhat unique issue and I need help resolving it. I am trying to use systemimager which uses rsync exclusively as a means of making 'images' of entire systems. The problem I am running into is with a particular software package which configures your operating system to run its /tmp directory as a loopback instead of the normal accepted means of a regular directory. So what ends up happening is that rsync gets to this file called TMPDIR which is the "image" of the tmp directory and hangs forever. Does anyone know any way around this; unfortunately if I simply disable this programs behavior of setting the tmp directory as a loopback certain features of the program no longer function and the entire point of imaging it becomes lost. Thanks for any advice anyone can give me. -Drew -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
