...temporary storage while the file is updated. If --whole-file --sparse --inplace were all in play then rsync could write out an entirely new sparse sparse file over the existing file without requiring any temporary storage space. IOW, I would like 'rsync --whole-file --sparse --inplace srcfile tgtfile' to be equivalent to 'rm tgtfile ; rsync --sparse srcfile tgtfile' but with rsync's --inplace handling of the new file rather than making a .tgtfile.rsync.randomstring file. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.
