rsync - Dec 2006 - DO NOT REPLY [Bug 4310] New: Not correct transferring files

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4310

           Summary: Not correct transferring files
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.9
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned@samba.org
        ReportedBy: peter.schubnell@gmx.de
         QAContact: rsync-qa@samba.org


I have a local harddisk (mounted as root /), which i want to copy to another
harddisk (mounted as /mnt/root1). If i start e.g.:

rsync -avH --delete --force /usr /mnt/root1

the contents of /usr and /mnt/root1 afterwards are NOT the same. But some other
directories ARE the same afterwards.

The command you cite should be making /mnt/root1/user the same as /usr, not
/mnt/root1.  See the manpage about how to use a trailing slash on the source if
you wanted to copy the contents of the /usr dir into /mnt/root1 rather than the
dir by name, followed by its contents.

Sorry, what i mean, is that the contents of /usr and /mnt/root1/usr afterwards
are NOT the same.

What exactly differs between /usr and /mnt/root1/usr?

Sorry for the panic. I finally controlled the files being transfered with
MD5SUM. All files are being successfully transfered.
What first made me believing there are differences, is that an "du -s"
on the
directories i've transfered against the original directories showed me
different sizes.
