Rsync bug with -x/--one-file-system and /
...oints (eg: NFS mounts, backup partition, USB drives,
cdroms, /proc etc).
Dapper's rsync is 2.6.6, so I upgraded to 2.6.9 just in case, and still
see it.
This is the problem reduced to the simplest form:
sh-3.1# ./rsync --version
rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29
sh-3.1# ./rsync -x / /zorilla/foo
skipping directory /.
Nothing is copied.
rsync's device crossing detector seems to get confused about /, and
refuses to traverse it if -x or --one-file-system is on.
My workaround is to enumerate and exclude all mount points, but one day
someone is going to mount something somewhere unus...
