FW: killing rsync seems to wipe-out the --partial .hidden files
... then reads about the very next switch ... --delay-updates ... which has some of the hallmarks expressed in the synchronised directory - but I expect iff the rsync session is uninterrupted?

I will be interested to see how "smart" the restart is in terms of the dropped 80%. To be honest, in not understanding the brutal truth about abend --partial behaviours, the specifics of --partial-dir even though written in the man page are not that meaningful/eye catching. I dismissed it as purely a house-keeping option to allow --partial to be directed to (say) another disk device etc to manage storage distribution rather than imagining it changes the nature of rsync operation. So many switches, so little time to explore them all :-) Cheers, Frank.> -----Original Message----- > From: Paul Slootman [mailto:paul+rsync at wurtel.net] > Sent: Tuesday, 20 March 2012 9:27 PM > To: Frank Hamersley > Cc: rsync at lists.samba.org > Subject: Re: killing rsync seems to wipe-out the --partial .hidden files > > > On Tue 20 Mar 2012, Frank Hamersley wrote: > > > > Thinking quickly (as I have to go to a Mindari) the approach I > would take > > for --partial is to ... > > Perhaps you need to examine the manpage bit more thoroughly, you could > e.g. use --partial-dir. > > > Paul > > > ----- > No virus found in this message. > Checked by AVG - www.avg.com > Version: 2012.0.1913 / Virus Database: 2114/4881 - Release Date: 03/19/12 >
