rsync - Jan 2009 - DO NOT REPLY [Bug 6041] New: rsync --delete from ext3 to hfs+ always deletes files with special characters in name.

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6041

           Summary: rsync --delete from ext3 to hfs+ always deletes files
                    with special characters in name.
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.1.0
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Mac OS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned@samba.org
        ReportedBy: info@retrosync.com
         QAContact: rsync-qa@samba.org


I am using rsync to sync from my ubuntu machine (ext3) to my mac (HFS+ disk
image).
When I use the --delete flag, i get the following problem:

deleting bart/Fotos/André.jpg
bart/Fotos/André.jpg

Any file containing a special character (éäëüê etcetera) gets deleted and
then resynced. When I omit the --delete flag, rsync does everything normally.

I tested with 2.6.9 and 3.0.5 and both have the exact same behavior.
The files themselves are completely correct (no corruption or anything), so my
guess is the delete checking has problems comparing the two filenames across
the different filesystems and then falsely marks them as deleted.

The FAQ discusses a problem copying to HFS+:

Is this what you are seeing?

Man do I feel like an idiot. I searched all the bugzilla tickets extensively
but never looked at the rsync faq. Sorry about this!
