rsync transfers whole content when a new hardlink is created
...disk space for a correct sync.
(Of course, this happened me. :-) )
Here is an example:
The local directory with a new hardlink to a file:
$ ls -s1i rsync_test/
total 899960
3272008 449980 a_hardlink_to_large_file
3272008 449980 large_file
The remote directory without the new hardlink:
$ ls -s1i fake_remote/
total 449980
4088085 449980 large_file
Rsyncing:
$ rsync -aHPv rsync_test/ fake_remote
building file list ...
